Hello Roger!!! I was beginning to think you had jumped ship on us. It's necessary for FAT32 to be used for the secure zone so that it can be accessed from outside of Windows (pseudo-DOS). If it were set to NTFS, the energency boot disk would not have a chance at finding it. If you even have need to restore the backup, it will not have any problem saving it to the correct location using its native NTFS.
