Ntfs fat

I need to copy files from a FAT HD to a NTFS (NT4) HD when booting up with the FAT (Win98) machine. I came across a utility - ntfsdos.exe but it only allows for viewing and excuting files on the NTFS partition, not copying to it. Is there another utility or way of copying files from FAT to NTFS?

Put the FAT drive into the NT machine as a Secondary Master. Then boot the machine. As long as it indeed is FAT and not FAT32, then NT will have no problem seeing the drive and file contents.
