Many thanks Train. I know I formated it long ago and I suspect I did use FAT32 but I am not sure. I 'think' I recall saving 'something' to the drive at that time. I think I had better take it out of 'storage' and see what I saved to it. Hopefully that may shed some light of the subject. I had planned to use the drive on some special occasions when needed to help family with problems--then .
