O.P. RE: NTFS or FAT32 for an external drive?
MArkus, speaking about external drive maintenance, there are two tasks I usually do:
- Defragmenting (I use diskeeper)
- Scandisk (I use the regular WinXP CHMDSK) to check/fix any file inconsistencies.
Problem with scandisk is that I can't run it because when the PC reboots scandisk does not seem to detect the external USB2 HD. This is strange because in a previous WinXP installation I had in the same PC I was able to run scandisk on the external drive, so it must be a software issue. Any ideas?
