MyComputer changed by fat32

Hi,

I have just transfered my systems (XP and Linux) to a new hard drive, and I
added a 1GB FAT32 partition so that I would be able to easily exchange files
between Windows and Linux. Now I have a display problem... When I used the
"My Computer" to look at the FAT32 partition, it seemed ok, but when I tried
to go back, or up, I couldn't get the original display back (of devices,
control pannel, etc.). It now showed only a list of files/folders in folder
view, and it would not go "up" beyond a list of the the desktop folder.

Please can someone advise me?


(XP Home SP/2 OEM. HDD1until recently) Windows NTFS 60GB; Linux 20GB.
HDD2: NTFS 40GB. P4 HT. 512MB)

Have you tried the Backspace key on your keyboard?

Now, I can't replicate the problem! However, I have tried the backspace key
on the 'correct' view. Wow! I didn't know about that. Looks like it might
have been what happened - or, at least, it might help me in the future.

Thank you so much,

JessJ
