Re: Partitioning Hard-drive

WindowsXP will see and be able to access the FAT32 partition even if it's
own partition is NTFS.

Windows98 will not be able to see, nor access the NTFS partition.

NTFS will not install on a FATx partition. You will need to create a new
partition and format it to NTFS. Or you can take a FATx partition and
convert it to NTFS (one way only).
