Unfortunately, you can’t. These versions of Windows can only understand FAT. NTFS can only be read by Windows NT, 2000 and XP. However, with a little work, you can use a couple of utilities from http://www.sysinternals.com “NTFS for Windows 98” and “NTFSDOS” allow you to read NTFS from Windows 95, 98 and DOS. If you are prepared to pay, they even have versions that will write to NTFS (N.B. It is very expensive).
