no, what i told you first was correct, look up a few posts at mine and compare it to yours, you somehow switched things things around :P but anyways.. the most noteworthy thing is that you'll be able to copy files greater than 4gb in size to the drive.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

i see, funny enough I think I have no files like that. what takes up that much space anyway? movies?
with what version of windows did ntfs come out? before that you couldn't have anything on the drive with a file larger then 4 gig?
anyway, that's nice to know, but if we had a whole movie library on here, first I'd have to switch out the 70 gb hdd with the 500 gb one I just bought, not in the mood to do that tonight :p
but now that I have options, everything is working out great. options are always great, as you never know when you might need them in the future.

sure, hd video and iso/dmg files vastly comprise my files that are greater than 4gb in size..
ntfs has been around since the early 90s and windows nt i believe, though for the vast majority of end users i'm pretty sure windows xp... i think i remember upgrading from 98 and it having some gui based conversion to ntfs during the upgrade... has been a long time, so don't quote me on that.

why do they constanty sell external drive like the wd passport and a usb key chain drive and have them installed with fat32? is it easier to transfer files from a pc with ntfs to fat32 then it is to transfer files from a pc with fat32 to ntfs?
it must be, because fat32 is something I constantly see as a file system for external drives or usb 4-8gb drives.

some operating systems do not support ntfs, or do not have full read/write support.
