I have an IDE drive with a lot of important data, all on one NTFS partition. It was hooked up to a XP machine, and worked great. My XP machine went down, and I am not in the position to buy another machine right now. I had an old machine lying around that had windows 98 on it. I installed Windows 2000, which still won’t read my drive. The BIOS sees it correctly, and my roommate’s XP machine reads it fine, so I know it is not dead. I see it in Windows Explorer, but the volume name is gone (It is just called Local Disk). If I try to access it, it says that it is not formatted. any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Is it related to the machine being built for Windows 98, which didn’t support NTFS?
