Does anybody explain to me why it is that if you boot a ntfs partition on a win9x,the partition is not accessible.
What is the best to used,a ntfs or a fat32 partition?
What is the right bootable disk to access a ntfs partition?
I personally have mine setup with fat32 and I have no problems seeing all my files.
