Is NTFS required?

Good day. I had my XP Pro PC hard drives formatted to NTFS but when I built
the 98SE PC it could not read the shared files from the XP PC. I
re-formatted the drives on the XP PC to FAT32. Does the PC on which SQL
Server 2000 is installed require the NTFS formatted hard drives? TIA, Jim.AFAIK, no.
HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.

Only Personal Ed and MSDE are supported as servers on Win98, although
Win98 clients are OK for all editions.
