WinME and NTFS

This is a discussion about WinME and NTFS in the Windows Software category; Just curious. Anyone know if WinME can view NTFS partitions in a dual boot setup with Win2K? Or is it like Win98 which cannot?.

I dont beleive it can seeing as it is really just win98 3rd edition and there is no real filesystem change. I might be wrong though. I played around with it and didnt like it. I'm back with the sweetest OS Win2k.
Good luck

OP
Thanks. That's what I assumed.
 
However, given Microsoft's anticompetitive nature and history of usurping the ideas of others, I'm surprised they didn't include NTSF support in WinME to make such 3rd party utilities useless. (Sorry, but I just can't resist a little MS bashing if given the opportunity).

They didn't include NTFS support for security reasons probably.
