You may be able to create an NTFS partition on your existing drive without losing any data, and use a third party tool for Win98 to allow you to write to this partition, but you'll have to take advice from someone else more knowledgable than me.

I see Metallaxis has been getting some stick for uploading the DVD in this format - but it was me who suggested he do it this way. The usual convention for uploading DVDs is an IMG file packaged as a number of RAR files, a sample VOB to download first to check quality, an NFO file and an SFV file to check integrity of the RAR archive. Metallaxis had deleted his RAR files, but still had the original disc image as an IMG file.

IMG files in my opinion are much more suitable than a VIDEO_TS folder (as long as you are not running an outdated OS, that is). With DVDDecrypter installed, burning an IMG file is a simple 1-click process. You don't get jokers who burn the VIDEO_TS folder as a data DVD then wonder why the disc doesn't work in some standalone players. The disc you get is exactly the same as the disc I have here. It also means it's more difficult (not much) for someone to remove the "Not For Sale" warning I tacked on to the beginning of the disc.
