    Hi there!

    Is there any way to be able to see XP from my win98SE OS? Some kind of patch to load or something?

    98 is on FAT32, and XP on NTFS, both installed on seperate hard drives.

    I have a problem booting into XP (dual boot at start up) and need to remove documents from the XP system first before formatting it and doing a re-installation.

    If I select XP at start-up, it goes to the splash screen, then freezes completely.

    How can I start DOS so that it will be able to see all hard drives, no matter what filing system they use? When running MS-DOS from 98, it obviously does not see XP.

    Or am I doing something wrong...???

    "NTFS Reader for DOS is a freeware tool that provides read access to NTFS partitions within the MS-DOS environment. You can preview files on NTFS and copy files from NTFS to FAT volumes or network drives.

    Product's interface is easy-to-use. Can be run from DOS bootable floppy. "
