Ext HD shared between Win7 and WinXP machines - corrupted?
Hello! I have a whole lot of stuff stored on a series of external hard drives -- archives of stuff: family photos, music, video files, backups of documents, all pretty inert stuff. It's all been saved from WinXP machines.
We've just taken in a new-to-us Win7 machine in the past week, and once I got it properly reformatted and set up, I copied some files from one of my external hard drives onto the Win7 machine. Now my WinXP machine is telling me that the external hard drive is corrupt and unreadable -- though it's still perfectly readable on the Windows 7 machine.
This is rather inconvenient.
Is this a known issue between Win7 and WinXP? One hit by Seven is XP's Armageddon?
What I can do, maybe from the Win7 machine, that will make the hard drive usable again for the XP machines?
I have more files from other hard drives that I'd also like to transfer to the Win7 machine, but I'm afraid that every device I bring to the Win7 machine might become unusable to the WinXP machines ...
I appreciate any help that you can offer. Thank you!
