Win2000 & WinNT FAT Problem

[marex]

Hi All,

This is a hard one and I'll give here a small explanation.

Old drive and bios situation

C-Drive => windows NT V4 (2GB primary master)
D-Drive => datadisk (8 GB primary slave)

Both drives are NTFS formatted. (Running win NT V4)

New drive and bios situation

C-Drive => Win2000 (8 GB primary master)
D-Drive => Win NT & backup old d-drive. (2 GB primary slave)

What did I do..

First I created a backup from the D-drive (data) to the C-drive.
Than I switched both harddrives primary master to slave and
primary slave to master, yes also the jumpers.

I didn't connect the primary slave drive and updated the bios.
I think this is all normal.

Now I formatted the primary master and installed windows 2000.
No problem and everythings works.


Here it comes....

I coneect the primary slave and again updated the bios.
After rsstarting my computer, windows 2000 checks the primary
slave and tells me that it whansn't a win2000 drive.

Win2000 checks the fat table and tells me that the problem
has been solved.
I can see both drives, and they are both NTFS.
When I want to use the primary slave I can't read the
information.

Error message : E:\ is not accessible
the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

I suppose that the NTFS on WinNT and Win2000 aren't the
same otherwise I don't know what happened.

I put that drive into another computer to try restarting
with windows NT, because all data is still on that drive,
but nothing happens, so the fat table mustl be destroyed by
win2000.

Anyone can tell me if that's a bug or did I do something wrong.
The big problem is that I can't restore my backup and it makes
me very very mad.


cheers
