Windows 98, VMWare, FAT32 and NTFS

May 7th, 2008

Hi All,

I am running Windows XP at present with FAT32 file system. I plan to convert my file system to NTFS. If I were to later run Windows 98 within VMWare in Windows XP, would the Windows 98 still work with NTFS?

Thanks.

Windows98 does not read NTFS. although I am fairly certain that if you install Windows98 in VMWare Windows98 should work.
