Hey! Great idea! It worked! Not sure what's going on, or why it even works, but it does. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hmmm... Actually, I do have NTFS on the XP box. I've tried it both ways with encryption (which doesn't matter because the encryption doesn't hold when transferring to the flash drive). Is there anyway to change the file system of just the files that I want to copy over?

This one's weird. I have a laptop running XP and a desktop running ME, no laughing please :) I can copy files to the flash drive on ME, and then copy them properly to XP. This is fine. But when I copy files to the flash drive on XP, and then view them in ME, ME randomly shows certains files...

Sorry. The OS is Windows ME (no laughs please). I basically want to reinstall everything on the new hd. I'm overdue for a fresh OS install. So it sounds like I should install the new hd. Create a primary c: partition on it. Install the OS and all my apps on the new hd. Then connect my old...

Thanks. But what if I want to put a fresh install of the OS on my new hd, instead of just copying the contents of the old drive over? How do I deal with naming the drives? Could I do something like install the new drive as master and the old drive as slave. Install the OS on the new drive...

Did you see any problems? Decreased speed? Wasted space? Wasted memory?

It was Fat32 before as well as now. I'm not worried (at least I don't know if I should be) about it being an issue. It's more for personal knowledge, just trying to figure out why it's happening.

Yup. I did a standard "fdisk" (no additional switches). Chose large. Did a standard "format c:". Booted to the cd-rom and did a basic install of Win ME. It's weird cuz everything works fine. The hd is still read as being the same size prior to the crash. But the number of sectors and...

Nope. Just 1 partition.

I'm running Win ME (please, no laughs) and windows crashed. I reformatted, and started all over. The weird thing is that now when I run scandisk, it reports only half the number of sectors and clusters as opposed to before the crash. I'm not sure why it's doing this. I'm still reading the...
