Hi Andrew,
I know there's a slight risk attached, but couldn't one use
the NTFS Convert utility here?

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.

Subject: [access-uk] fat32 or ntfs
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
