Dual operating system XP and ME

[Guest]

Hello,

I am running a large HDD with XP and have also an ex laptop ME HDD which
works fine.

Only trouble is, that although the XP recognises the ME HDD (formatted FAT)
the ME does not see the XP HDD (formatted NTFS).

As I would sometimes like to access files from the large HDD when using ME,
I would appreciate any advice or info which will help me achieve this.

Thank you,

This is really a WinME question, not a WinXP question. WinME
will not recognise NTFS partitions but perhaps there is a flavour
of ntfsdos.exe (www.sysinternals.com) that will work under
WinME. Your best bet is to ask in a WinME newsgroup.

Thanks Pegasus,

I will try that (surprised to hear that there are still ME newsgroups...)

.. . . and I'm surprised there are still ME users!

I still use a version of Quicken that works fine in ME, but not XP. I don't
need any online banking/stock stuff that newer versions promote excessively,
and more money from me for stuff I don't want or need.

The only reason I went XP is for internet access safety. Apparently, 98/ME
aren't targets anymore of any major concern, just XP/Vista. So, I'm an
idiot now.

Except for new 3rd party software usage requirements...
I'm surprised people are still "upgrading" to XP or Vista.
