I was wounder. Can Win XP read NTFS?

Hehehhe, I'm sorry I had to elaborate here, the 3 letter reply of "yes" just doesn't do it for me

Yes Windows XP will most definitely support NTFS...reason being is becauase NTFS will be it's native File System. Windows XP is nothing more than a new build of NT 5.0 (Win2000).

So just as Win2000 can read FAT32, and NTFS, XP will do the same. There's no filesystem changes scheduled for XP.

Alright cool. I was kind of thinking it would. Sence its the nt kernel. Then who knows with microsoft.

Wow nice artlice, that's a new one over me! I wouldn't worry though, a revision to NTFS can only be a good thing, and partition Margic will surely release a patch to fix it from freaking out like that.
