Xp Pro SP2
NTFS file system.
MSI 865 MB.

I tried to put in a couple older drives to check on whats in them.
They are FAT32 drives.
My computer hung from the get go on them. Booting up took for ever
and it didn't recognize them at all.

I seem to remember on XP being able to read and copy to FAT 32
drives.
