I am going to hijack this thread instead of starting a new one.
I've just formatted and installed XP on a quite old machine. It's got a 30 GB HDD : 10 GB for C: and 20 GB for D:
The new OS is installed on C:, it's running fine and displays 9 and something GB in My Computer. I do see my D: drive there too, but whenever I hover or try to click on the icon, the HDD will start to 'scan' until I close the My Computer window, Explorer will then crash.
C: has been converted to NTFS during the format, whereas D: is probably still FAT32. I don't mind losing the data that was in it, I just want to be able to access and use it.
What should I do :O?
edit : I want to mention I'd like a best case scenario where I get to keep the data in D: ;o

This guy put it the wrong way, but:KoPoT said:
A naked win 2000/xp machine on the internet will be owned within 10 minutes, which is too short a time to get patched. The general method now is to enable the XP firewall, then connect to the internet, install all critical patches only (i.e. don't do windows media player 9 yet), restart, then go to patch the rest.
