    Hello,

    I noticed after making 3new partitions on my 80 gb harddrive with Partition Magic 8 that my Os Partition (FAT 32) can read the other 3 partitions (NTFS)!

    Is this supposed to happen or what?

    I thought that the FAT 32 file system cant read or recognize NTFS PArtitions.

    My computer Can see, open, and edit the 3 NTFS Partitions even though it is FAT 32!

    The file system really has nothing to do with it. If you have XP on a Fat32 partition it can see the NTFS partitions just fine. If you were to remove XP and replace it with Win98 on the same Fat32 partition you wouldn't be able to access the NTFS partitions. It's the OS, not the file system that can or can't read NTFS.
