Interesting. Did you create the NTFS partition with XP? XP uses/creates a diff version of NTFS (v5.1) than W2K (v5.0). Supposedly the two are not compatible.

It's not XP itself that is the problem; it's NTFS v5.1

You could perform a test-restore .. to a non-critical partition .. to see if/how it works .. but I wouldn't trust it. What would happen if something didn't work right? You'd cry.

Be paranoid.
