XP pro can't read win 2000

[gil]

How can I get XP to read drive D which is a win 2000
drive? 2000 will read the xp drive c, but not the other
way around. A local MSSE said it won't do it. I can't
believe Microsoft would be that stupid to create a proble
like this. I could reformat the drive but I have almos a
100 gigs of data on it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In NTFS terms, Windows XP and Windows 2000 have the same on disc format, so
XP should be able to read 2000 drives. Are we talking about NTFS volumes?
