Files "appearing corrupt" under windows ME, fine under XP

[dannyr]

Hi,


I have acronis os selector on my system (a 200 gig hd).


So far I have:


1 70 gig win xp home partition
1 30 gig win xp pro partition
1 20 gig partition for windows me (set up yesterday).


I seem to be having trouble with files copied between the xp home
partition and win me.


I downloaded nvidia drivers, and audio drivers into "MY DOCUMENTS" on
the ME particion, when I was in the xp home environemt.


I checked the files - and they seemed to be ok, so I extracted the
audio drivers into a subdirectory, and copied a few more files onto the
fat32 winme partition - all seemed ok from within xp, so I rebooted
into windows me.


The nvidia driver is coming up as a "non win32 application" (it is the
win9x driver downloaded directly from nvidia.com) - it ran ok from a
zip disk...


The folders I created seem to contain random files, with a supposed
size far bigger than the actual size of the folder.. Again a copy
made onto a zip disk is fine.


Any ideas? one of my thoughts is that my XP pro partition is set up as
c:. and when winme boots that is also set up as c: so maybe a
conflict here? is there an issue with using XP to copy files onto a
fat partition?


Thanks
