And the many amazing member projects here on MSFN and elsewhere shows that, while official support for Windows 9x has been dropped, users do and will continue to develop their own support and software for the OS they love.īesides, if someone did implement and code a full IFS for Win9x, I'm sure they would not have to test and debug all on their own.
(Probably none at all.) However, there are still many millions of Windows 9x users worldwide. I don't see many new commercial software packages or hardware targeted for Window 9x anymore. But don't hold your breath, I don't think anybody's going to implement, code and test a full IFS on Win 9x in this century.Īdmittedly, the Win9x family is considered not only obsolete, but very obsolete by many. This said, like the other responder said, if FAT32 does not satisfy your needs, why would you want a proprietary file system like NTFS ? Much more interesting and useful as an IFS would be Ext2FS (Ext3FS without the journaling). And with additional free software, FreeDOS can support Win32 applications - including limited support for Windows.
And while FreeDOS by itself may not be able to replace MS-DOS under Windows, it can run alongside MS-DOS. Perhaps it would be possible to compile NTFS-3G to work under MS-DOS and Windows 98? If not, it has already been shown to work under FreeDOS, provided it is properly compiled. Guess what? It worked! However, it didn't really work on one PC (either Compaq or HP, don't remember exactly) which had a proprietary partition at /dev/hda1 (first primary).

Update : To answer several questions I've received: yes, this is reported to work. Christophe simply moved his page, he's still around and he's still working on the open source NTFS utils: web site. Update : Several readers wrote in about this one, including Sebastien, W0rm, and Rich Green. I have also mirrored a copy of this at ibiblio util/disk/. I have temporarily uploaded it at ntfs.zip. Can you post this program at your page? May be the old maintainer contacts you or we search for a new maintainer. It's under the GNU GPL and a port from Linux to DOS.

So it seems that NTFS support would have to be provided on the DOS level first, before Windows boots.įrom an archived copy of the original Sysinternals description of their program I found this:Ī > NTFS for Windows 98ĮnricoB sent me this note about reading NTFS from DOS: I have searched for a NTFS driver for DOS and have found it. But it seems the biggest obstacle to such an implementation is the fact that the Windows 98 OS is still actually MS-DOS underneath. (So now we have to dig around for old copies.)Īnyway, if it is possible to implement NTFS into Windows 98 itself (through a major hack), I doubt it could support the extra file security that NT/2K/XP boasts. I noticed one of the commercial products claims "NTFS drives behave just like regular FAT and FAT32 drives." Unfortunately, several of these packages require files from either Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 in order to work.īTW: One of the freeware NTFS for Windows 98 solutions above is originally from a website called " Sysinternals" and a company called " Winternals Software." However, the company was bought out by Microsoft a couple years ago and several of their free programs have been removed from the site, including the NTFS for Windows 98 software. ($79 or more?! ) In some cases the software only allows reading and/or writing of files through an explorer-like interface, but some have more to offer. However, the second two are commercial products. The first two links above are for freeware.

This affects dual-booting, and external portable hard drives.įor example, "Previous Versions" (a.k.a. While the different NTFS versions have a great degree of both forward and backward compatibility, there are technical considerations for mounting newer NTFS volumes in older versions of Windows.
