Hi,

I have a system that uses Windows ME. If I mount another hard disk that was
formatted as NTFS, will my OS still be able to read the contents of the
other hard disk?

Thanks.

Peter

I am pretty sure that it wont. NTFS has only been available for
Windows NT/ 2000 and XP

Windows 95/Me/98 use FAT16/32


You can get 3rd party software that allows you to read the NTFS disk
from a DOS prompt, and then copy files from it to another disk.

ME will not be able to read an NTFS disk in the same pc.

Not entirely correct. YOu can use a third party application such as the
one from www.sysinternals.com:

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr...tfswin98.shtml

The free version allows you to read NTFS partitions from Win9x. The
paid for one allows you to write to NTFS partitions too.
