Drive Permissions
I have a MS Win98 and a WinXP partition. For integrity reasons, I would prefer if XP would have read-only permissions to the Win98 partition. This should be easy enough, but it will only give me the security information for the XP partition and not for any other partition.

I don't think there is a way to protect your FAT32 partitition with out using some aftermarket software. I have never seen it anyway.

I agree with Tuf, Fat32 just doesn't have any security without the use of third party software.

The security, then, is built into the filesystem? So, if I had another NT partition, it would have the appropriate security permissions? Or, is the security only on the active XP partition? Just seems odd (or at least I thought impossible) that the filesystem could handle permissions.

Yes, the NTFS file system has security and FAT does not. Any one of the NT based OS's installed on NTFS will have security as well as other partitions or drives formatted with NTFS.

NTFS is responsible for most of the security benefits of XP and 2000. Yes you can use any combination of FAT32 and NTFS partitions with XP. The only limitation being that XP will not let you create a FAT partition larger than 32GB.
