Hmmm!
I never read the book either. My portable drive appears to be OK, but
now perhaps I'd best think about reformatting and tidying up at the same
time.
Oh dear, these computers never give us any rest, do they! <GRINS>

I only know this FAT32 versus NTFS issue because I went through it.
Christmas I got a 200 GB portable hard drive from Maxster. Last week I
started getting trouble accessing certain folders on the portable
Maxster drive. I took it into a computer store, thinking it was faulty.
The next day the guy phoned me. He said he noticed that my portable was
FAT32 and my laptop was NTFS. He said he placed a call to Maxster and
Maxster told him that a FAT32 portable hard drive, plugged into an NTFS
system can, after a while, corrupt files on the portable drive. I lost a
great deal, but it could have been worse. After getting someone to check
for me, page one of the booklet that came with the Maxster advises
formatting to NTFS if you are using it with an NTFS machine. I've always
been one to just dive in, so I paid for not checking the booklet.
Peter, laughing like bart.
