Hi Will,
If you have any worries about NTFS, it is generally good practice to
create a small partition formatted FAT32 just in case you come across
problems.
I very much doubt the format you had on your old drive has anything to
do with it dying on you.
However, if you keep a lot of data, it is worth looking closely at the
drive manufacturers' warranties. Personally, although reflected in
the cost, I generally look for a five year warranty, and on a basis of
continuous running 24/7/365. It is essentially what you would expect
of a file server's drives, but in my view, well worth the extra.
George.

Thanks. Will files from a win32 machine run OK on a ntfs disc? I kam
guessing the answer is yes. But there may be facts about this I do
not
know about.
