can windows 2000 read XP ntfs partitions?
Hi
My friends XP system has become unbootable and he needs urgent access to data saved on the drive. He has another PC running Win 2k Pro. If we put the XP drive into the Win2K PC will it be able to read the XP partitions? Thanks for any info. Ian

Back a long time ago when beta testing XP, you had to copy the ntfs.sys file from the XP install to the W2K install to get 2K able to read the XP NTFS partition. Not sure if that's still required or whether MS updated W2K after the XP release. -- Nik Simpson

I might be thinking of the W2k beta vs. NT4, all those betas tend to merge together in my mind. -- Nik Simpson
