Reading NTFS partition on a win98 Box

[jj]

Not amiga related, but I know all you helpful people will help me out.

I have a machine running win2kpro. This is connected to a WIN98 box through a network.

The WIN98 box has a NTFS drive installed with winxppro on it as a slave.  I need to acces the drive through the win2kpro machine.  But the win98 box will not see the drive.  Are there any progs I can run under win98 so i can connect to the drive as a network drive.

Cheers in advance peeps

It is a tool which allows you to do exactly what you want to do - read NTFS with Win'98 (unsure if it'd work under ME or any flavor of '95).

HTH.  HAND.

I made it a hotlink, as I'm sure there's others like me who've played with the two OSs side-by-side and would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Not quite rare i.e. I'm currently using Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition....

I have got win98se, win2kpro, and winxpro on one machine and win98se on the other.

Once I get financially solvent again I may have to buy a copy of that...how is it in comparison to 2000 Adv. Server?

Is A.D. management still more or less the same?

I would never condone piracy, but given that M$ thinks it's ok to support SCO (which I take as a personal attack) why not look at gnutella (I prefer the Gnuleus client). It's simply amazing whay you can find there with respect to Operaing systems

This should be in Alternative OS and not software discussion.

Without going into detail... It’s fundamentally the Windows XP (a.k.a NT 5.1) within the Server segment.

Microsoft thinks that IT Technicians are bunch idiots i.e. wizard features seems to be over kill in my POV. For positive aspect, it’s a relatively easier to use than the old 2000 Adv. Server.

There are some 'issues' with existing software (due to NT 5.2 related features) e.g. MS SQL. It’s Internet Explorer 6.0 setup has all of it’s scripting turned off (for security).

This particular edition is friendly for the ancient Celeron A @300** (with 128MB RAM).

**It's my lowest test machine, without resorting to a 486DX33 (with 20Mb of RAM) on card (iCL make) (not factoring 386DX box).

I notice that some people (in some Windows forums) runs their Win2K3 on Pentium II @233Mhz  (i.e. it’s competition who can get it on the lowest hardware while still usable).

I run win 2k server on an old dual p100 system overclocked to 133, it runs very nicely.

Pir*cy has nothing to do with the post? In POV, what you do with the software on your machine is your business. I don’t have an interventionist policy.

It's close to the end of financial year (in Oz anyway), thus justifies the expense (i.e. expenses can be claimed back from gov taxes).

why not look at gnutella (I prefer the Gnuleus client).

I'm well aware of MS's famed leaks and transformation kits (i.e. it made head line news).

PS; One could obtain an evaluation edition of Win2K3 product (from MS) to test the product for suitability.

Ah, I'd expected as much.

It can't be harder...!  Although to be fair configuring the 2000 server here was easier than the old NT4 server.  Bleaugh!  I like the "configure your server" option when you first power the thing on.

Interesting.

Also interesting.  I've got a few AMD boxen around here that would probably do - hell, it would probably do fine on my P200 box, but I'm not going to tinker with Shoverrobot (the server) now that I've got it tweaked just the way I want! :-)

Well I think for the majority of us who do professional stuff at home it boils down to using "that one old box" we had lying around for ages - the P2/233 or whatever - doing nothing.  I can't bring myself to throw away a P120 with 24mb RAM (hey, it works and works well - why toss it just because it's old?!) so I certainly can understand others holding on to older boxes and those same systems ending up as servers.  

Heck, anybody can install a server OS on a P4 3.06gb system with 4gb RAM and a massive .5 tbyte RAID.  It's getting it working down on the bottom end of the spectrum that's fun

IF you experienced with any of MS Office wizards, you will know what I mean (in regards to making it near idiot proof).
