Hi all,

to make a long question short - is it possible to make Windows 2000
handle HDDs that were formatted with Windows XP ( e.g. USB disks from
a friend who uses XP)?

AFAIK Win2000 can read all partitions formatted under WinXP.


On my first attempt, it didn't work... maybe it was because the HDD
was < 160 GB. Also, wouldn't another file system (W2k is NTFS 3.0, XP
is 3.1) require another driver, to prevent data loss (at least in case
of write access)?
