I hold a desktop that currently runs with Windows ME, and I am planning to install a unsullied Windows XP OS on it, which in turn would erase adjectives of the files. In order to pick up all the files, I suppose the best way would be to put them adjectives on a USB flash drive, but I'm afraid that the formatting that Windows ME would impose on my USB drive would not allow Windows XP to read it. If that is to say true, how can I make a USB drive formatted for Windows ME readable for Windows XP?
Can Windows XP read a USB flash drive formatted next to Windows ME?
Yes, here is no problem. XP is capable of reading FAT, FAT32 and NTFS. Set your Windows ME to format the drive as FAT.
Hope this help!
Windows ME will format your USB flash drive in any FAT or FAT32 file system. Windows XP is practised of reading both of them. You carry on.
For the most part of a set, all usb's and flash drives are interchangable near all pc's operating systems. The exception is when a fool tried to format his flash/usb to ntfs, and very soon anything below Win2k ( except to much older WinNT )will not read it. Older window systems, Win3.x, Win95, Win98(se), WinME, will only do FAT, and FAT32( except Win3.x ). All of the others WinNT, Win2K, WinXP, Vista will read adjectives formats. The standard default formats for usb/flash is FAT or FAT32. You are correct to go.
Good luck...
