I AM NOT SURE WHAT FORMATTING I HAVE. HOW DO I FIND OUT WHETHER I AM FORMATTED FAT32 OR NTFS
Admin toools will give you or the defrag tool will give you the info that you need.. easiest is defrag.. look at the drive list.. it will say ntfs or FAT32..

IF and only IF the drive is formated in FAT32.. open the commant prompt and use the "Convert" command.. (open help and type in CONVERT the full syntax is listed there..

should ber something like

convert c: /fs:ntfs
but I could be wrong
