When You installed winxp, did you use FAT 32 or NTSF file system? Also the 80 gig drive was it set up as FAT 32 or NTSF? ( I'm not familiar with win2k so don't know which file system it uses) Both drives have to be the same file system to be read by each other. If the 80 gig is NSTF and when you installed WinXP you picked FAT 32 there is part if not all of the problem.. You can go into WinXP and change from FAT 32 to NTSF but not the other way (at least I don't think you can go the other way). hope this helps you and be patient other people will come to help that have more experience then me..
Hope you had a Happy New Year... Rick
I have a win2k system that has multiple drives on it from fat 16, fat 32, NTFS . Win2k and xp Will read and use them all. As long as the drive is recognised in the bios win2k should be able to use it regardless if its fat 32 or ntfs.
P.S. the picture shows Win2ks Disk management. The fat32 drive is currently in another computer and the the 2 partions that are blank are ext3 and linux swap space. Those are the only ones not usable in win2k
