NTFS in 2k and XP

su root · 10-03-02, 10:11 PM

I know that Windows XP and Windows 2000 use different versions of the NTFS 5.x Filesystem, but my question is: can 2k read and write XP's NTFS, and visa-versa?

Yes they can read each others NTFS partions.

yes, the only os that cannot see NTFS is win98

And NT4 needs SP5(or 6, I can't remember) to read NTFS5.x from either 2K or XP.
