InvaderTrax Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Anyone know if you can install Windows 98SE onto a drive with an NTFS format? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I have no idea...why don't you find out? I don't see why not...ntfs was created for windows nt, right? 98 came after that, so I'd assume it would work okay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 The only reason I ask is because 98 startup disk can't format a drive in NTFS format, but NT 4, 2000 and XP can Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 You can't install Windows 98 on an NTFS partition. Windows 98 only supports FAT and FAT32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmartyG Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Windows 95/98/98se - fat, fat32 NT 4 -fat, ntfs ME - who cares? 2000 - i think just ntfs, but i'm not too sure xp - fat32, ntfs i think i'm right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Windows 2000 also supports FAT32, because I was using an external 30GB HD with a FAT32 partition. ME supported FAT/FAT32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 You can install/upgrade 2000 on fat32 but does recoomend and is really easy to setup NTFS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 It reccomends it, but is not a necessity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
somar Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 You won't be able to install Windows 98 on an NTFS partition, but you have some options.. you could set up a separate FAT32 partition, or just have the entire drive and the NT operating system installed on a FAT32 partition.
