I have installed W2000 on my computer with a fat32 file
system. I have a Rockwell 56000bpsk56flex Modem which is
not compatible with W2000 apparently so I cannot upgrade
from W2000. When I download from a 2nd drive using Wme,
in which i can get online I get service paks using Nftc
file system. How do I find upgrades in fat 32??? Are
their any?

W2000 will Not recognize my modem even though it is
plugged in and working. Do I need to install a new
external modem.???
 
Hi;

The downloads you get are not in any file system, but rather are just
"plain" files that will fit on whatever you have installed. The file
system in use does not have anything to do with how or what you
download.

The problem with the Rockwell modem versus Windows 2000 is apparently a
known issue (see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;318720). If you
aren't able to make the BIOS change suggested in that article (be
careful, noting the warning in the KB article) you likely won't be able
to use your current modem. So, yes, you will need to get another modem
that works with Win2000.
