Mixing NTFS & FAT32 drives with WIN2K?

[GuruBob]

Feels like a dumb question, but I'll ask anyhow.

I'm currently running Win2K Pro with one HD that's formatted into one NTFS partition. I have a spare FAT32 drive with data on it sitting on the table.

Can I just plug in the spare as slave and start working with it in Win2k? In other words, will plugging it in to my system corrupt the data that's on the spare drive? Thanks.

no ..go ahead. It will work alright.

Please read the FAQ: Using FAT32 and NTFS on the same system.

Win2k can read both so its no problem..but win ME, 98, 95 can only read fat32 and fat so make sure u dont swtich back if you dont like win2k.
