did you format your hard drive on the winXP machine in NTFS? if so that is the problem, as win 95/98 can't read NTFS, only FAT. where windows 2000 and XP can read both. best is to update the ME machine to XP

I use PC Cillin 2000, i think it's the best there is, you can get a free demo here and if needed i have that little something PC Cillin works like a charm with windows XP, but be sure you take the version for windows 2000, not the 95/ME version
