i have just built a new PC more or less. Because i have installed a new mobo, i got a 2nd hard drive (Maxtor 120GB) to back up my files. I formatted my new hard drive to a NTFS file system, installed windows XP, everything was fine, played Doom3,,finished it. i am using it as my Master
i have just started to hook up my original hard disc drive (IBM 120 GB drive from about 2-3 years ago) to retrive my files from my old PC, which had windows XP also, but a slightly earlier version. i connected the drives up, with the correct jumper settings. my BIOS idenified the drive.
However when in windows and i try to look into my old hard drive or move a file into it,,i keep getting a box asking me to format the disc.
i can only think there is a clash between Fat 32/NTFS file systems.
is that my problem
