Allen - You are exactly right; and MS's support forums show a lot of
queries on this bizarre piece of engineering!
Question - Can I use convert.exe in Vista to make the WD external drive
an NTFS? Will it save my data? The drive is about 2/3 full.
Thanks

Your Vista machine is probably using NTFS for its file system. Your
external drive is probably using FAT32. NTFS handles DST correctly,
while FAT32 does not.
Solution is to upgrade the external drive to NTFS (or some other real
file system).
