kitoshizc,
The page says that you should be able to copy from the NTFS partition.
I'll look for others for you though.

thanks dude. which product can copy?

Bartender_1

It says you can copy from NTFS to FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32.
The link to the download is here:(Use the "readntfs.exe" command in the zipped archive)
http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10225436.html

Or you can try this product. (Read the English portions of the page)

Bartender_1

The link I provided you is a free download, and the downloaded version will allow you to copy from NTFS to FAT12, Fat16, or FAT32, or to a network share.
