accessing win98 shared files from winXP Pro
Craig Hale wrote:
Hello, Even though I am certainly not an expert at this, your issue may be caused by the different file systems - FAT32 and NTFS. The Win98 FAT32 will not recoginize the NTFS files so it denies access. Craig Hale, Uh, that's only an issue on dual-boot PCs; if booted with W9x, then the W9x OS and apps running under it cannot access files on a NTFS filesystem on the same PC. But, in a network, one PC does not directly access files on other PCs, so the filesystems used on those other PCs do not matter to the first PC; i.e., a W9x PC with a FATxx filesystem can access files on a XP PC even if that XP PC uses NTFS. -- Cheers, Bob |
