I wish to add a second harddrive to my xp system. The
drive I wish to add is currently formatted as FAT32 (win
98se). Is there anything special that I have to do to
either my machine or to the new HDD before I can
incorporate it into my xp system? The drive I wish to add
is nothing more that a storage drive and therefore (to my
knowledge) contains no windows associated files. Any help
will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Just make sure it, and any other IDE device on the same ribbon
cable, are jumpered properly for the specific manner in which you
connect them, and you should be fine.
