| 284399 | 2004-10-25 05:29:00 | Yup you are wrong. On a network 98 can read ntfs or fat32 (or anything). If its on the same hdd then no 98 wont / cant read ntfs. | Spacemannz (808) | ||

I apologise for the wrong information. > If its on the same hdd then no > 98 wont / cant read ntfs. I think that is where I got my wires crossed. I did try to find this information but as is often the case it proved to be illusive when required. |

| 284402 | 2004-10-25 20:56:00 | Sysinternals provide a free driver that will allow a 98 installation to read an NTFS partition on the same Hard disk. Read only though, if you want to write to The NTFS partition you have to buy the full program/driver From what I understand though & could be wrong here, If the NTFS partition in question is a shared volume on a network that has another machine sharing an NTFS partition then the 98 installation will be able to read & write to it as it will be treated just the same as any other network share Did that make sense? |

The question I have is >From what I understand though & could be wrong here, If the NTFS partition in question is a shared volume on a network that has another machine sharing an NTFS partition then the 98 installation will be able to read & write to it as it will be treated just the same as any other network share I can't see anywhere in the thread if this is true or not Can a 98 install on the same Hard disk as an NTFS install read the NTFS install if the NTFS partition is a network share? |

| 284406 | 2004-10-26 02:51:00 | sorry i must have skip read it. win98 cannot read an ntfs partition (without a thirdparty driver) directly reguardless if you share it or not. pc's on the network do not access the hardrive directly on any other pc in the network. pcA requests data from pcB. the os on pcB reads data off its hardrive which it then sends to the os on pcA which writes it to its own hardrive. |
