NTFS For win98

[xSpeCtor]

What's the point of this program if ya can't bypass the 4gb barrier?
I've got version 1.04 full

Now, someone in this forum made a post long time ago about this program, (or a similar program?) who installed it and it "worked like a charm"
did you capture stuff over 4gb on a ntfs drive with win98?
Also, why do winternals say that win9x/me has a built in barrier?
isn't that fat32 filesystem who got that limitations?

98/ME do not (and can not) use NTFS; that's the NT/2000/XP crowd. Some apps will automatically (and seamlessly) start a new file when you get close to the 4GB mark, and that's how they probably did it.

If you don't do vid capture (and the OVERWHELMING majority of the population does not) it's unlikely that you'd ever hit the 4GB mark with one file.

I do a lot of video capture.
well i used to.
But since winxp and my wintv theater card doesn't work well together i shoved the card into my winme comp.

you can use NTFS there a program made by Microsoft that will make Win98 use NTFS it goes for about $60.00 dollars

The purpose of the program isn't to allow you to install NTFS on a win9x system. But for a win 9x system to be able to read NTFS partitions. For example, I have a dual boot system w/ win2000 NTFS and win98se FAT32. If I boot to win98se I normally can't read my NTFS partition. thus NTFS for win98.

NTFS os can read fat32, just not the other way around.

Just to clarify, this program will only allow Win98 to *read* NTFS, but NOT write NTFS. Correct???
And if it can write, it cannot write more than 4 gig files???

dont use this piece of crap prog and save your 60 bucks for an xp upgrade and convert your file system to ntfs...once youve converted to ntfs your world of problems are over!
