Greetings mark!   
      
    RW>>> That's ok. It will work with any Windoz version newer than W98. I   
    RW>>> began to use NTFS when I installed W2k...   
      
    EV>> I didn't know W98 could read NTFS drives, I've always used FAT.   
    EV>> -snip-   
      
    RW>> It won't. NTFS came as an option with W2k...   
      
    ml> actually, with the proper drivers, it will... but that also generally   
    ml> means an underlaying DOS change which can lead to some ""items"" to   
    ml> be solved... i have, some years back, run w98 on freedos using the   
    ml> freedos ntfs driver to access ntfs drives...   
      
   I think you're a whole lot more advanced in this than I am. I'd like to   
   experiment with it, but my time for it is limited now.   
      
      
       Have a day!
