NT to XP

Recommended Posts

I loaded XP on a new drive. I have additional SCSI drives that were NTFS formatted under NT. I can not access these SCSI drives under XP. They show up under Disk Management. What can I do to get these SCSI drives to be accessible with XP????

Does anyone see the irony of having to import "foreign" disks, when they're clearly using "NTFS" the native file system of the NT Platform?

Methinks this is the reason. Probably when XP imports the foreign image, itwill convert it to NTFS 5. NT 4 does notlike ntfs 5 with regards to chkdsk, and possibly other things. This forces the user to make the determination whether to import it or not.

i thought

 

2k and Xp use a diff version of ntfs as well/ like 5 and 5.1?

 

 

i know once i had issues putting an XP formated NTFS drive into 2k it would not pick it up.

Yeah, 2k uses NTFS 5 and XP uses NTFS 5.1 though I am not aware of any compatibility issues and I'm not totally sure what is different between the two.
