okay quickie question.

can Windows 2000 read a NTFS 5.1 Partition?

from what i understand WinServer 2003 and XP are the only OS's that can read a 5.1 .

is there a update or some kind of patch that can allow Win2000 to read and access a NTFS 5.1 partition?

From what I gather after googling for 5 minutes, Win2000 needs SP1 to read NT5.1 disks.

NOTE:Microsoft Windows 2000 uses NTFS 3.0. NTFS 3.0 and 3.1 have compatible on-disk formats, so volumes upgraded to NTFS 3.1 by Windows XP can continue to be accessed by Windows 2000 or by Windows NT 4.0 with SP4 or later.
