Win9x can only read Microsoft's FAT and VFAT file systems. NT can read FAT
plus it's own NTFS. NT won't read VFAT. It's a shame that Micorosoft's
premier OS can't even read a file system used by it's desktop OS. I think
there was supposed to be a bug fix^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Service Pack that fixes this.
Even so, non-MS file systems are completely foreign.
