Alright, minor question, it shouldn't be too hard.
My parents computer -
OLD Gateway: Windows 98
128 MB Ram
20gb HDD Formatted in FAT32
600Mhz Processor
A new computer I recently got from a buddy -
New'ish Dell (Surfing PC not gaming) -
Windows XP
128mb Ram
40gb HDD Formatted in NTFS
1.59ghz processor
Ok, so my idea is to just throw the Hard Drive (with all my parents valuable files) and the RAM (if its the right speed) from the old gateway, into the newer Dell, and just give it to them.
Question is, will the XP NTFS Formatted HDD recognize the 98 FAT32 formatted one as a slave? Will NTFS even support a secondary FAT32 HDD at all? Its not a big deal I can just reformat the Dell as FAT32 but I was just gonna ask around first.
Thanks!
