    Whats that have to do with jumpers. Did you change them?

    Edit: Now I know. Besides the jumpers. Probably ME HDD is FAT32 & other is NTFS.
    But that should be OK

    I installed my W98 drive into my XP machine and that's FAT32 and the XP drive is NTFS, and that works OK.

    You can view FAT32 if you have Windows on NTFS, but not other way around.

    No. You can easily recover your old files, like I said.

    Well I dunno, but it worked for me, so I see no reason why it shouldn't work for you.
