that's fine NT can recognize either

win9x can only use fat/32

Yes. NTFS and FAT32 are both merely file storage schemes. Once a file is
retrieved from storage, there's no difference whether the system is NTFS, FAT32,
FAT16 or whatever. That's why an NTFS system has no problem reading and writing
to a floppy that uses FAT12.
