My cpmputer has a 60 GB HD (FAT32) and a 250 GB HD
(NTFS). Recently I have been having problems
accessing/transferring files between the two HD's. Could
the problem be noncompatibility between FAT32 and NTFS? I
know I can convert FAT32 to NTFS and probably should. Any
suggestions? Thanks

No - a file format concerns a /drive/ not the contents of the drive. I have
two HDs - one NTFS (for Windows) and a smaller one (FAT32) for Linux. XP can
read any file format you care to throw at it - Linux, OTOH, can read - but
not write to - NTFS. But I can copy files between the two formats under XP
quite happily.
