Cris,
I'm not sure why an external using the older FAT formatting
(occasionally referred to as FAT16) would cause such a problem, but it's not
beyond belief, either. (These infernal &!$*% contraptions!!!) lol
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the replacement file seems to have done
the trick. You're right that it's probably best for you to go ahead with
your plan to back up the files presently on it, format it with either FAT32
or NTFS and then copy the files back onto it so the issue becomes complete
history. Yes there ARE numerous programs that will change the formatting
system without destroying the files on the drive, but why take a chance with
your only copies of those files.
Peace,
GMan
