The main reason I was reluctant of the idea is that the Win 95 drive is formatted using FAT32 and the WinXP is NTFS.

Thanks

The only real drawback is that no Win95 program (installed under Win95 OS in the drive's "prior life") will be able to "see" a file on the NTFS drive... it can not refer to any drivers, dlls, ocxs, etc., etc., that may get stored or installed on the NTFS partition. Also, since you would no longer be using W95 OS, all installed programs' registry entries would be gone.

Any programs re-installed thru the WinXP (NTFS) OS will work fine.

Why not just reformat the secondary drive, or convert it to NTFS?
