NTFS for Win98
Winternals Software LP Page 4
4 Limitations
Because the Windows 95/98 environment is different than that of Windows
NT/2000, the level of NTFS support that NTFS for Win98 provides is not
equivalent to that provided on Windows NT/2000. For example, NTFS for
Win98 does not enforce the Windows NT/2000 security model. All files and
directories are accessible, regardless of their security permissions settings. In
addition, NTFS for Win98 is not compatible with Windows 2000’s Encrypting
file System (EFS). Any files encrypted using EFS will not be accessible under
Windows 98 using NTFS for Win98.
NTFS for Win98 does not provide access to software-implemented NTFS
volume sets, stripe sets or mirrored drives.
