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.
