The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000/XP users who sometimes
exchange data with Windows 98SE/ME PCs.
For storing the data under Windows 2000/XP both partitions can be used. As the NTFS
file system is not recognized by Windows 98SE/ME data to be used on these operating
systems must be stored on the FAT32 partition.
