Thought it would be fun to start this topic - specifically related to computers
I just bought an external hard-drive for backups (Passport). Nice and compact. DARN THING WAS FORMATTED FAT32 !!! I mean, come on !!
Was it a used drive? I've bought a lot of external hard drives and they don't come pre-formatted.
Typically that's for compatibility Mark. Not everyone has moved to NTFS.
It's easier to scrape FAT32 drives also :)
