raf1251 0 Posted June 11, 2003 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???? Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted June 11, 2003 You have to use the import foreign disks in disk management Share this post Link to post
Christianb 8 Posted June 11, 2003 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? -Christian Share this post Link to post
duhmez 0 Posted June 11, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post
Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted June 13, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post
zen69x 0 Posted June 13, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post
