help: convert ms access from FAT format to NT format

[maxima]

I need help on converting Microsoft access from win98 FAT format to
WinXP home NT access format.

I recently bought an off-lease IBM for $299, loaded with winXP home and
office 2000. I activated it and thought I could easily convert my win98
office 2000 access files.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. It kept telling me it couldn't
convert the old files I copied form win98 HD.

Please help.

As Joseph explained elsewhere, this makes absolutely no sense.

What version of Access was used to produce the old files. What did you do to
get them onto your new machine? How are you trying to use them? Are you
having problems with any other files?

BTW, if you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to
each group). In this way, all responses to your post will be available
together, regardless of what group the responder was in, and the rest of us
won't have to read your post multiple times. (It also uses fewer server
resources)

I see you're using Mozilla Thunderbird to post. Unfortunately, I'm not
familiar with that particular product, but in general you can type the names
of the various groups into the Newsgroup box, separating each newsgroup name
with a semicolon.
