Info savable??

[laatz03]

Can I save my info from a HPFS formatted drive to a NTFS drive? Will it have to be converted? If I drag it onto an external HD, will it be readable by others?

Thanks...

I vote you try a copy n paste and see what happens;)

Windows Native Support

Windows 95 and its successors Windows 98, Windows ME can only read/write HPFS when mapped via a network share, but cannot read it from a local disk. They listed the NTFS partitions of networked computers as "HPFS", because NTFS and HPFS share the same filesystem identification number in the partition table.

Windows NT 3.1 and 3.5 have native read/write support for local disks and can even be installed onto an HPFS partition. This is because NT was originally going to be a version of OS/2.
