posting here because I need a quick answer

Am I going to have problems if hd1 is FAT32 and hd2 is NTFS?

You shouldn't have any problems.

only if your fat32 partition is running win9x in which case it cannot see the ntfs partition therefore all you would see is your C drive in win9x

but the win2k/xp partion can see both

Alright

another quick question, how can I delete a folder throgh dos (er, comand prompt in XP) ?

Brent Im going to have to disagree with you on this one,
at Work I have one machine with 98se on a Fat32 that can see its slave drive thats ntfs, then to even top that it can read all the ntfs drives on every machine via the network.

Now in DOS mode win 9X cannot read NTFS but once windows loads I have never had it not able to read a NTFS drive

The directory is not empty

How can I delete a folder and everything in it?

I've got a screwed up file that I can't delete.

YOu can view an NTFS hard drive from win9x if its on the networked as a mapped drive

but you cannot physically see an ntfs hard drive from a win98se fat32 hard drive locally on the machine

Correct. 9.x will see a physical drive, but cannot see the data on an NTFS drive or partition, on the same machine. But they can see any networked resource on another PC / Server that's NTFS (doesn't need to be mapped).

I use FAT32 on my game HD and NTFS for C:

The 9X machine is not reading the NTFS drive....the operating system that is loaded and running on that NTFS drive (such as NT server) is reading that drive, and translating that NTFS drive through Microsoft Networking to it's clients, which can be reading it through the normal UNC, or the old fashioned drive mapping.
