asked on

Storage of NTFS files on a FAT32 Hard drive

Hello all,
            I'm wondering if I can slave a Win98 OS Hard Drive to an NTFS XP OS Hard Drive and copy files from the WinXP Hard Drive to the Win98 Hard Drive for temp storage only.
 I want to save some files from the WinXP OS and return them after a re-format.

Thanks and regards,
                              bill

What effect will losing "permissions" have on this procedure??

Thanks,

If you're not on a network then permissions won't be an issue.  Sounds like your doing this just for a personal computer right?
Correct,
            I'm not networked and it's for a PC.
I was thinking the same thing!!

Thanks,
