Uggh I am not sure how that is going to work. I only can think of one suggestion at this time(later when I am more awake maybe I can come up with something better). First if you dont have to much installed since upgrading or you can backup reformat and go back to a FAT32 OS to retrieve what you need, or you can dual boot OS's and use WINXP I know that it is capable of accessing info from both types of FAT's. This will/should work, due to the fact that I have a 20GB drive that is NFTS and a 60GB that is FAT32 on XP Pro.
hmm ill wait till i can put my spare hdd in a m8s comp.
lol my irc was on it and i cant be assed to download it again :)
on a completely different note does any1 have a serial number for office 2000? or mebe links to where i might find 1
I knows where ya can be getting something better. PM me for more.
shouldnt win2k be able to read a fat32 partition? there should be atleast a way to change the filesystem format from fat32-ntfs without losing any info. Or, can 2k not even see the HD at all?
I have never used win2k so I dont know, but if you cannot see the harddrive at all in windows, try looking for a program on the internet to convert the filesystem, if 2k doesnt have one.
