There is a freely avalailable FAT32 reader for NT, but there is no way to get NT (even sp6a) to write to NTFS. There is also a read-only NTFS reader for win98 (and one for dos which works in win95). These are available at http://www.sysinternals.com/ http://www.sysinternals.com/ntfs98.htm http://www.sysinternals.com/fat32.htm http://www.sysinternals.com/ntfs30.htm Thus the only file-system NT and 98 both can write to is FAT16.
