i think u meant reads NTFS

well if u r using a dos boot disk ..sorry to say u will not be able to access ur NTFS partitions

How ever u cud use 3rd party softwares that read the NTFS volumes and allow u to copy data from the NTFS volume to any FAT volume

like this one

Code:

*www.bootdisk.com/txtfiles/readntfs.htm

download : *www.bootdisk.com/mindy/readntfs.zip

just make a normal boot disk and then copy this progy to the disk and boot into dos..
To access the NTFS partition simply run the progy......... :wink:

A

another one to read NTFS from dos

www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdos.shtml

there free version allows only read, the pro version(paid) allows read and write capability in dos

ok get the August 2004 Digit

It hs some Digit DOS which can work on NTFS also.

Even I am waiting 4 my copy to arrive

M

how am i supposed to use the software when it isn't booting under dos.

as for as DIGIT DOS i have to wait till 7th or 8th before it reaches me.

for booting into DOS, ur 98 bootable floppy will do.
extract the program given by JAK to this floppy and boot.

u can boot ith this floppy even WITHOUT HARD DISK.
so NTFS/FAT32 should not be problem.
