to my understanding
the only way is upgrade to
- windows NT
- windows 2000 or
- windows XP

there's a read-only NTFS driver for 98 (i think it works with ME as well), but it doesn't help you much.

sorry

make sure you READ and understand what you are getting into. i recently did this myself and had/have no problems, but i can't speak for everyone.

There is a command-line program called convert that comes with winxp and probably win2k. All you have to do is open a DOS prompt and type convert "drive letter" /FS:NTFS but that only after you upgrade to Win2k or WinXP so you dont lose your data because Win2k/WinXP wont do it for you during installation.
