Files showing as square boxes

[AndrewG1976]

Here's the situation ..

I upgraded the motherboard and cpu on my old PC to a P4 3.0Ghz, when I tried to boot up it wouldn't work.

I bought a new 120GB hard drive and loaded Win2K onto it and it boots up fine. I slaved my old hard drive which is a Maxtor 2 B020H1 running Win98, it has FAT file system. The hard drive is picked up fine by Windows but does not show all the files on it, instead it shows 16 files with a square for the filename. 5 files show 0KB, 7 files show 1KB, 1 file shows 1,280 KB and 3 files show 81,920KB. One folder is also showing with a square for it's name. None of the files can be accessed.

My old hard drive has all my important files on it which I need to access and ideally be able to boot into.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Sorry, i meant to say that all the connector from the power supply that serve drives, hard drives, optical drives, etc, those are all amp connectors then, right?

But you answered another question, the mobo and floppy are molex.

So, in the end:

drive connectors h drive and optical drives, internal - amp
power supply connector (20 and 24 pin) - molex
floppy connector - molex

What about fan connectors to mobo? Are they just fan connectors, or are they amp or molex?

thanks, appreciate learning proper terminology!
