well i got that usb case, and the hdd. it works great but heres somethign that got me.

i put some stuff on it using xp pro, and the files sys is ntfs.
i brought it to a buddy, and i think he has winME.they use fat32 right ?

is that why when i click on drive g: (the usb harddrive) is says " g: is not formatted. format now y/n?"

diffenrt file systems...fat32 VS ntfs is why it wont work right ?

thanks - justin

So its when your buddy tries to see the drive on his computer? If so that should be it as I dont think ME supported NTFS. Or am I wrong here? Anyone else key in on this?

Now if it was the otherway around there shouldnt be a problem as XP would definatly have no problem seeing FAT32 and NTFS.
