Slaving ME drive?
I have a win me on my old computer. I now have an xp pro box but after a move
cannot find my original software. Is there a possibility of slaving the 98 drive and being able to access the software since xp recognizes fat 32 drives? I know that trouble shooting an xp issue can usually be resolved by slaving an xp harddrive on an xp system... Curious |

Connecting the drive should work just fine as long as you make sure your
cable/jumper connections correctly, but you almost surely won't be able to utilize the previously-installed software. Most software requires registry entries, set paths, etc. to work correctly and hooking the drive up as a slave won't allow access to those bits of data. -- Richard G.
