how to read Fat32 drive on Win2K SP4 system

[JimT]

I have an old drive with files that I want to move to my
Win2K system. The current system is NTFS. The old drive
was Win98 / Fat32. The BIOS sees the drive, Win2K boot
sees the drive and verifies the integrity, but the drive
is not visible in Windows Explorer once Win2K is running.

Can the old drive be directly accessed by Win2K SP4?

Did you assign it a drive letter in Disk Management?

Why do I find that option? I've checked all options in
Explorer. Is it a utility somewhere within Win2K?

Thanks,
