I run several servers at work (NT and 2k) and I always format the drives with the NTFS file systems. The increased security, smaller cluster size and large file allowances are extremely necessary on servers. With that said, I have Win95, Win98, and even DOS using DOS client accessing all files and folders on the servers.
I suggest you make sure that all your computers are in the same workgroup, on the same subnet, and the folders are shared with the correct permissions.
I hope that helps.

Hi,
I recently decided to convert my sons and daughters XP Fat32 to NTFS, seemed to run fine but came to a hurdle today.
You see, their PC's have only one hard-drive (normal you'd say), and I divide them into 2 partitions:
C: 75% - XP
D: 25% - Data
This way they can store their video clips, .mp3's, .doc's etc. to Data and XP gets installed to C:
When I do a fresh install, I only need to format on C: then install.
Booting from A:Floppy, Win9x/Win_Me obviously can't recognise/see NTFS partitions so therefore you can't format. I was too lazy to search the web for a solution, so I nutted the partitions and started again.
I doubt whether I'll ever use NTFS again.
(Yes, I do have WinInternals NTFS Pro but couldn't be bothered)
Cheerz
if u got the bootable CD of Windows XP, you got no worries

Hi Folks, I have been using NTFS for about 7 years now. It is definitely the way to go....NTFS is not a "New" file system structure, it has been used on Unix Computers for many years. You will find it to be basically the same on Linux systems as well. The file system takes a bit of "Learning" to get over some of the bumps, but well worth the effort...

If you have a P3 system it most likly can be cause by your bios which doesn't supporth NTFS format.

@woogie
HUH? HUH? HUH?
...win98 computers using f32 CAN communicate with XP boxes running NTFS. Its in your network configuration that you have the problem. They communicate using TCP/IP, which has nothing to do with the file system type.

If you have a P3 system it most likly can be cause by your bios which doesn't supporth NTFS format.
Not really sure what you are trying to say, but the BIOS or PROCESSOR type has little to do with what file system you can or cant use.

Lol, I thought this was cleared up in Mars...
I don't think it's woogieman that brings the topic back...
Then I also wonder about "NTFS is not a "New" file system structure, it has been used on Unix Computers for many years." written by Crowdirt. What? What Unix-OS is it that has run NTFS for years?

Unix don't use NTFS, they use EXT3 (linux) and other filessystems...

hmm, for once Crowdirt is wrong, hehe, it depends on what OS I'm installing as to what filesystem I use, if I'm using a server OS (ie, right now I have RC1 of .NET setup as a domain controller) than I'll use NTFS, otherwise, if it's xp home / pro or Win2K Pro then I'll go with FAT32, many less headaches, but NTFS is needed for security and active directory
