I wanted to ask can a windows 2000 slave hard disk (formated to NTFS) be read when using a windows 98 computer on fat32? the slave hard disk has no operating system and only has data files on it.

This is becuase my current windows 2000 computer doesnt seem to format the slave hard disk in anything but NTFS.

Thanks

NTFS Reader

QUOTE:
Provides read access to NTFS disks from Windows 95, 98 and Me. Allows you to
save any files to any disk visible on the system or on the network. Supports
saving compressed or encrypted files.
While saving, it ignores file security policies. It means that it is possible
to access absolutely any file on a NTFS disk from Windows 9x. The program can
create and open images of NTFS disks.

It's a good day when you learn something

Thanks, It looks like I'll have to download some extra software to read the NTFS drive
