As you can probably see Stephanie replied with similar information but as I stated to her, since the USB HDD isn't used for anything other than backups on the laptop, I wouldn't be losing anything. I just re-read your post and now I'm confused. What's the difference between "convert x:/FS:NTFS" and the format program? It seems like the command line "convert x" is going to "convert" the entire x: drive just as the format program would. -- Jack LaRosa mailto:jlar...@charter.net Sticking with with The Bat! ver: 4.0.38 for now.
