Not natively, although there are programs that will allow you to read an NTFS partition.
NetBSD, Windows, and Linux each support both FAT and NTFS file systems.
Because Windows 98 doesn't support reading or writing NTFS partitions.
Windows 98 has no built-in support for NTFS. This is not a problem, but a missing feature.
Any FAT and NTFS.
Windows NT4 supports: FAT, NTFS (version 4) Windows 2000 supports: FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (versions 4 and 5)
No. Windows ME cannot boot off of NTFS partitions, and it cannot read them without special software.
NTFS
Pretty much any Windows system built around NT: Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8. Also, Linux has two NTFS filesystem drivers giving it support for NTFS.
If you are installing windows XP with Windows 9x or me than the I would recommend you to use FAT32 as if you use NTFS than you wont be able to access Windows XP with NTFS partition. If you are installing Windows XP with Windows NT or Windows 2000 than you can use any partition type. But I would recommend to use NTFS.
Windows NT4 Service Pack4 and Windows XP Professional
You can not convert a FAT 32 drive to NTFS in windows 98 because windows 98 does not support it. You can however mount an existing NTFS drive in windows 98 using a driver from www.winternals.com
