Which fat 32-system needed to view old 2.5"-drives

[europanorama]

I could fat32-format one of my main hdds and install winxp to make additonal very old 2.5"-hdds visible. I already asked the same earlier.
Is there a simpler trick(system) to make at least these older data visible.
didnt find a pc to view them. maybe add to my 486 win 3.11 as slave?

Any NTFS system should be able to see the contents of a FAT 32 drive.... Most flash drives come if FAT32.

Going the other direction is where you get into issues. (fat32 OS trying to read a drive with NTFS)

I will retry it. maybe the 60mb-drives are defective. on the other hand: i could not use an ide-sata-adapter on my second MB. I will try to attach the 2.5-drives there since its a bit older.
