Can't read Fat32 from XP

Usually, I can find the answer to my problem with a quick search, but can't locate this. I recently installed XP Pro and am just getting used to it. Problem: XP changed some files on my second hard drive (formatted in Fat32). It did a scan on boot up and now I cannot access any files on my second drive. It all shows up as Found.000. All my music was on that drive as well as backups to very improtant files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cool

here is a link to a forum discussion relating to found.000 files, which discusses the checkdisk command. Hope this helps you out.
cheers, ~pawprint~

I have heard that you cannot transfer files from a FAT32 HD into a NTFS system..Because FAT32 cannot read NTFS, but NTFS can read FAT32.. Not sure about that..But I believe if you get a program that makes an image of the HD(GHOST), then I think it will all work out.

P.S- I know it's out of the subject. But just decided to say it anyways heheh..correct me if I am wrong
