Depending on the release version, FAt12, FAT16, and FAT32 are all possible out of the box. Additional software exists for reading NTFS or ext2 partitions, but you cannot boot from them.

What does formatting a drive involve?

To format a hard drive means to delete any information on the drive and to set up a file system so Windows 7 can read from it and write data to it.


Can you retrieve data from a hard drive with Windows XP on it by installing it in a Windows ME computer?

Probably not without additional tools. Most Windows XP installations use the NTFS file system, which Windows ME cannot read. There are some programs that can read NTFS partitions in Windows ME, as can be found in the "Related Links" section below.


Can you put a hard drive that is running Windows XP into a computer that was running Windows Me?

As long as they use the same data connector, yes. However, you will likely not be able to use the hard drive, as Windows XP will not usually work when transferred to another computer, and Windows Me cannot read the NTFS file system. Reinstalling Windows XP or formatting the hard drive in Windows Me will resolve these respective issues.


Can you read DVD-Rs on Windows 98?

As long as the drive is capable of reading DVDs, and the file system is one that Windows 98 understands (must be ISO9660 or UDF 1.02), Windows 98 should be able to read the disc. Note that Windows 98 cannot read UDF 1.50 or later discs, which Windows Vista and some DVD authoring programs default to.

No, it would be like sending a Spanish language book to a person who lives in France who can't read Spanish, they are two different languages.

Why can't you read your old ME hard drive slave from an XP master?

You cant read the old files because ME and XP are two different operating systems. An operating system is the system a computer uses to read and receive information. With out and operating system you wouldn't even be able to turn on your computer. The best thing you can do is to see if you can convert your data. A computer service center might be able to help you. In the future I suggest you pick and operating system that will be around for a while. Like XP yes they now have Vista but XP was the lastest version for almost seven years.AnswerThink about it? Windows ME .vs Windows XPFirst thing...1. Two totally different OS's 2. The .dll's are no were need the same 3. XP is a true OS, unlike ME which is nothing but a enhancement to Windows 98The only way your ME drive is going to work as a slave to a OS is if you use Windows 98, I cannot see it working with Windows XP at all.AnswerPut the windows ME drive in a hard drive enclosure, which turns it into a USB external drive.

How do you install windows XP home edition on a new hard drive when it says no operating system?

You need to "boot" from the install disk instead. The system will not be able to "read" the CD as it does not yet know what it is. It has to be "taught" before it can respond.
