Can any Win & Linux expert help me with this problem?... - Win2K (NTFS) drive crashed. - Mounted it as secondary drive to another Win2K machine, but Win2K couldn't recognize the partitions. - So instead, I mounted as secondary to a Linux installation and it was able to read the drive and copy the files over to the Linux (Fat32) drive. Verified that I can read the files properly once transferred to the Linux drive, and that the filenames and extensions are good. - Now, I boot up a clean Win2K installation with the Linux (Fat32) drive as a secondary (now holding the recovered files), but all file extensions are showing up as... FILE1.{_1 FILE2.{_2 The filenames themselves are okay, just the extensions are messed up as , , and a sequential number. - Booted into Linux again, and the file extensions are still good. Anyone know why? All I need now is to get the recovered files from the Linux Fat32 FS to a Win2K (NTFS) installation.
