Hey I just bought a new hard drive 60GB Western Digital and put win2000 pro on it on a machine in home, it is NTFS based partitioned. But when I took it back to my computer in my apartment to transfer files from, the home machine to my apt machine running win98 (FAT32). I plugged in the Western Digital as a slave in this computer and it is showing up correctly in the BIOS but windows98 does not display it in explorer or connected IDE devices. My guess is because its NTFS and win98 (master drive) is in FAT32 so its not reading it. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN TRANSFER DATA FROM THE the NTFS drive to the FAT32??? A utility that lets you see and copy between the two systems? I cannot take the drive back home and burn them on CDs because 1)Home is 8 hours away,2)too much data to burn. I cannot plug the NTFS drive as master and 98 as slave because its giving me boot up problems and it crashes everytime I try to copy it that way. It gives me dumping physical memory error messages along with a tons of VXD errors. I tested my memory on another machine and it worked fine, when I put the 98 back as master it worked fine. I am thinking if the different memory on the two different machines is not letting win2k work on this machine. I really need data from the new hard drive.I would appreciate any help, I am really desperate.
Thanks alot
