RE: NTFS or FAT32 for an external drive?
Like I said, the thing you're talking about is NONSENSE!!! There sure can be a small bug in the system, but NFTS is thousand times better, secure and reliable then FAT32 is... And FAT32 contains hundred times more bugs and malfunctions then NFTS.... research on that before claming FAT32 is better then NFTS!

Oh, and if chkdsk is reporting freespace as being marked, then this will NOT result in data loss at all, it only will result in some decreasing of free space. And furthermore, this problem is more persistent in FAT32 then in NFTS! And another thing, cross linked files is VERY common in a FAT32 system and this DOES cause data loss and damage. This problem almost doesn't exist in NFTS systems. And if that isn't enough, due to the way a FAT32 system works, it is VERY prone to errors when the system becomes unstable or hangs, again resulting in major data loss... Also a NFTS system has build-in backup system in the form of a log, for in the rare case that location data is lost, which allows for a transparent, automatically and quick recovery and garantees a consistent filesystem, unlike FAT32...... So before cleaming anything, get your facts strait...
