Confusion!!!

First off, you can't have an NTFS partition or hard drive on a windows 98 computer. 98, which runs FAT32, cannot "see" NTFS....ergo you cannot have an NTFS drive/partition on a 98 PC unless you create it on a NT/2000/XP computer and physically put it in the 98 PC....which leaves you with the same end result....you can't read it.

However, if you have a 2000/XP computer that has an NTFS partition, you can read it from a 98 PC providing you connect to the 2000/XP computer remotely over the network. (After sharing the appropriate drive/folder)
