Can you do a "CHKDSK /F" on it?

Or boot it from the W2K CD, go to the Recovery Console and do "CHKDSK /R"?

Either of those might enable conversion to FAT32.

If neither of those works, can the Recovery Console see into the inaccessible directories? If not, you really need to try with an XP CD before you proceed, but if even that can't, I fear you may be stuffed. About the only other way might be to back them up - the Backup user should be able to "see" everything to transfer it - then restore to a FAT volume.

BTW, I'm not sure PM7 can handle XP volumes. You probably ought to try PM8. I *cough* believe it can be obtained readily on KaZaa Lite...
