transfered data to another CPU. formatted partition with XP. when placed in
original ME CPU couldnt read partition. Formatted on ME works ok but now wont
read on XP CPU. XP says the drive has 0 space. Hoe w do I change the file
type to fat32 on XP CPU. I believe XP still thinks its NTFS, but its been
reformatted as FAT32 and has sata residing on it. the other partitions are OK.
 
First of all, a computer is not referred to as a "CPU". The CPU (central
processing unit - the brains of the box) resides on the motherboard (in the
case) and controls everything the computer does. You are referring to your
"computer", not the CPU.

Now, Windows XP can read files from either fat32 drives or NTFS drives. What
is the real nature of your problem? Your post is a bit confusing as to what
happened and what you are trying to accomplish.
