I'm going to clarify what I said:  WinNT does not natively support FAT32
and Win9x does not natively support NTFS.

recommend, based on my large amount of experience with Windows, that you
take due consideration when using third party drivers for critical
functions, such as the boot and system partitions' filesystems.
