I have a dual boot system with win98 on my C: drive and win2k on the first partition, D:, of another drive. I want to convert this D: partition to NTFS. Are the following statements true or false?

1. If booted into win98, my NTFS partition D: will be invisible.
2. If booted into win2k, my entire system, will be visible and accessible.
3. Using win98, I can NOT move a file from my C: drive to my D: drive (or vise-versa)
4. Using win2k, I CAN move a file from my C: drive to my D: drive (and vise-versa)

Thank you,

Those all look like true statements to me.

Thanks for the verification.... I was pretty sure, but wanted to make sure I could get something copied *out* of my ntfs drive before I went ahead and converted.

Yes, I concur, All statments are true. I am running a dual boot system with Win98FE & Win2K that has FAT16/FAT32/NTFS partitions.
