Hello Jerry:
    There is no harm in having different file systems. The only advantage
is, if all three partitions were the same file system, things would be a
little simpler.
    As someone else pointed out, Win 98 cannot read an NTFS drive.
    I am wondering why your C drive is FAT.  FAT is a rather outdated file
system that is not used much any more. You might want to consider converting
it to FAT32.
