But, unfortunately it doesn't help me to transfer my digital pictures from smartmedia to harddisk (my computers with 2000 and XP do not recognize the data on the smartmedia...)

The problem is probably related to drivers or something. Did you try reinstalling them?
You might want to register and start a seperate thread on this problem though and hopefully we can help.

FAT32 will work fine in 2k/xp, it's just that NTFS is better, but if you have a reason to use FAT32 such as using linux, it will work just as fine.
