Solve : Fat32 / NTFS?

Answer»

I have a portable 40gig usb hard drive (ntfs). I want to transfer data from pc running win98se (fat32) to pc running xp (ntfs).
At the moment win98 doesn't recognize usb drive so if I reformat usb drive to fat32, will xp recognize it? And if so, how do I do this?From what SOURCE are you storing ntfs?

Thanks for the link. I just wanted to know if xp will open an EXTERNAL drive which is fat32. Excuse my confusion it will if it has the drivers for the usb hard drive.maybe you could send the data via email.......and then download it to drive on win98?

All's working well now.

Thanks for your HELP Yes, you will have to format the external HDD as FAT32 if you want WINDOWS 98 to see it.
