How do you tell what format the disc is in the first place?

Thanks

Hi,

There should be no problem - I always format external media of this size
as FAT32, as it is more portable on a larger range of devices.

If you want to format the drive as NTFS, then you need to copy the
contents to a temporary location on the internal drive, do the format,
then copy it back over.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi,
my internal hard drive is formatted as ntfs and the external hard drive
is fat32.  Would this cause any trouble at all?  I have nearly 9 gb of
data on the external hard drive and I am using it as a backup drive.
How would I format the external hard drive into ntfs without losing the
data on it?
Using xp home.
Thank you.
Ali
