hello all. i've recently built a new computer with windows xp pro NTFS. one of my old hard drives is 6 GB and is FAT32 and has all my .mp3's and pictures from my digitial camera. is there an "easy" way to access this drive in my new computer without having to re-build my old machine, install windows 98, and connecting it to my network?
 
WinXP can read FAT32 just fine.

Just set the old drive to SLAVE (or Cable Select) and stick it on the same cable as your new hard drive/CD-ROM drive.
 
PrincessGuard said it all. Just make your 6GB a SLAVE drive and you'll be able to access them with no problem.

I have my Seagate 40GB set as my Primary (NTSF) and I use my Western Digital SE 80GB set as my Slave (FAT32), which has all my MP3s, movies, and stuff like that. It's like my storage.
