Quick (& probably simple) NT4 query

    Can anyone tell me what utility is required to read a FAT32 hard drive or partition in NT4 (on the same machine). I'm told in this newsgroup thread that NT4 (any SP) cannot read FAT32 drives on its own... anyone know any better? ... or anyone know what program can be used to get around this failing?

    Well it's mentioned in that newsgroup thread that it's possible to install certain software that will enable NT4 to read a FAT32 drive. If anyone here knows of such software, I'd like to know about it...

    Personally I'd rather leave the drives in my machine at FAT32 simply because of the benefits there are in using that FAT system, and because of the awkwardness in converting to FAT16 or NTFS. I'd like to have the option of using NT instead of just '98 in accessing these drives though. Obviously (?) I'd be setting my boot drive as FAT16 and leaving my second, 6GB drive as is at FAT32.

    NT4 will read a normal FAT partition so you might wanna convert the FAT32 partition into FAT or NTFS if all else fails.
