Hey guys. I have a question, but I'm not sure if its been answered before.

If I have a Win2k Professional Box running FAT32 and I take a drive out of my AdvServer computer that runs NTFS5 and install it as a slave drive on my professional machine, will the professional machine read even it if its main drive is formatted FAT32?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, your system should have no problem reading the NTFS volume. The FAT type of one partition is completely independent of another.
