320GB hard drive XP to 2K

B

If I format a 320GB hard drive into 8 separate 40 GB partitions on an
XP box, then bring the drive to a Windows 2K box which has had the
"EnableBigLba = 1" set, what will I experience when I try to look at
the data on the drive?
Will I see all 8 partitions, or only 3 40GB partitions, and the other 5
will just simply not be there?
If I read and write to the existing data on the 3 partitions from the
2K box, will it potentially create data integrity problems on those or
the "missing" partitions?

If you create a Primary, Extended and then Logical Partitions Win2K
should see them all.

For what I know is that Format in NTFS in XP is quite different from
NTFS in Win2k. Most probably win2k won't recognize the drive at all!
