so, could you then selectively set the data directories as fat32 and format
the os as ntfs? or can NTFS only be done on a drive specific basis?
for example, I have three Hard drives on two computers. one running w2k the
other win98. each drive has two logical partions.
I would then relocate Mydocs and other such data files that I wanted to be
able to access with both the win98 machine and the w2k machine to a fat32
drive or a fat32 partion? Thus allowing me to reconfigure the w2k machine
hdrive/partition as a NTFS?
