Hello Group:
I installed a second hard drive on my friend's WinXP computer and from
habit formatted the new drive as NTFS. Later I find that the boot
drive is formatted with the FAT32 file system. These drives are not in
a RAID array. I'm just using the second HD to back up data files etc.
Is there a problem keeping different file systems for the two drives?
Would there be any problem copying files back from the NTFS drive to
the FAT32 volume?
Why did the original builder of the system format the 80G drive for
the FAT32 file system?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
