Special functions for Windows 98 SE

I've heard about new updates and patchs for windows 98SE able to read/write over a NTFS system file.

Is it possible to execute a program in a NTFS partition from windows 98 SE ?

Is it possible to read or write a file in a NTFS partition from windows 98 SE ?

Best Regards

Let's start disambiguating.

There exist NTFS filesystem drivers for DOS and for Windows 9x/Me.

These will allow ACCESS (READ) to files residing on a NTFS formatted partition - some may allow also WRITING to the NTFS filesystem.

BUT - depending on the SIZE of this partition oand/or of the disk - more patches/fixes/whatever may be needed.

A program that can run under Windows 9x/Me may start and run if accessed with such a driver, BUT there are tens of factors that may influence it running succesfully, like dependencies, paths, direct access to hardware, etc., etc..

As such there is not a definite answer for " Is it possible to execute a program in a NTFS partition from windows 98 SE ?".

Drivers are listed here:

This board does have a search function, you know, like searching for "NTFS" in:

MSFN

> Microsoft Software Products

> Windows 95/98/98SE/ME

you may have found the above referenced thread and threads like (examples):
