OK, I posted here several weeks ago about a crash my hard drive had. I wanted to recover files and thought if I put that hard drive as a primary slave drive and put a new drive as a primary master drive I would then be able to use the master to recovery files off the slave.
I've decided to make a new topic, however, because I've tried that and now I seem to have a new problem. The master drive won't work with the slave drive connected to the computer - the slave is too corrupted. Apparently the crash I got (STOP 0X00000024) is related to a problem with the NTFS system.
This article outlines my problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;228888It says that I need a FAT32 system to deal with the problem. I'm not very computer literate - I only found out what NTFS, FAT32, etc... was a few months ago. And I just found out how to install a slave & master drive a few weeks ago, thanks to this problem. For some reason the article says I need to use Windows 2k - I don't know why. I've tried Windows 2k profession, which only installs as a NTFS system and, predictably, it didn't work.
Is Windows 2k home edition a FAT32 system? Is that what the article suggests I use? If not, why would the Microsoft article recommend I use Windows 2k, and not XP, if it's a NTFS system?
