Thanks All....
If I redo it as NTFS will another comp running as FAT32 Recognise it ->NOPE
It depends on what OS is on the other computer. If it's running Windows 9x or ME then it won't recognise NTFS, if it's running NT/2000/XP then it'll recognise it just fiine.
In my eperience I've found that Fat32 works a lot faster with external HDD's, so I'd keep it that way. You also have the extra advantage of transferring files between XP and 98 machines.
Mmmmmmmmmmm! I knew I should of Left Well alone....LOL....
Now NTFS....Ruddy USB2.0 was NOT Working with it either....Took me 2 n half days to Defrag the Darn thing.....All Done now..
That'll teach me a lesson......I might put it back into the Tower n conect it to the PCI ATA100 card....Would it work faster that way!?
Thanks All...
