ruthan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Hello, i want to know, if there is really working NFTS read/write solution for Windows 98SE, i tried Sysinternals NTFS (read only) and Paragon NTFS(seems to be limited to partition size 8.4 GB or at least i see such error), is there any better solution for reasonable partition size (at least 100 GB)?

jaclaz Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Have you tried NTFS4DOS? http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Avira-NTFS4DOS-Personal.shtml it shoudl work normally in a DOS box in the GUI 9x. For Read Only access, your best option is IMNSHO the Diskinternals NTFS Reader: https://www.diskinternals.com/ntfs-reader/ There is a dedicated thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/110814-ntfs-support-in-win-98seme/ where users of Paragon's driver reported successful usage on much larger disks, however, so (surprisingly) it is your machine/setup that has the 8.4 Gb limit. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERCURY127 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 what reason to use NTFS with 9x? 9x can NOT r/w file more than 4GiB -2 bytes. VERIFIED. with files on NTFS and Ext2/3/4. when 9x try r/w file bigger that this limit, then operation will WRAP to beginning file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only, that is one thing: There is also (for an unpatched 98) a 2 Gb file size issue (JFYI): jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERCURY127 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Yes, sure. It's internal limit 9x kernel. 4 gib -2 bytes file content (yes, minus two bytes, not one) - is total and absolute limit. Verified.

rloew Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The Kernel sets the limit. No FileSystem, including Network FileSystems, can exceed 4GiB -2 Bytes. I posted a free fix for the 2GiB limitation. I have a Patch (FILE64) that emulates Files larger than 4GiB. It can be used with any FileSystem including Network FileSystems. This allows 32-Bit Software to manipulate Files larger than 4GiB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
