1) I got what seemed like an excuse for a response, nothing useful such
as a work around (such as turning off write caching for NTFS
partitions). Surely you can understand that I was very upset for loosing
days worth of work!

2) NO, I would not have the same thing on a Windows PC. I would not
loose any data, because the source file is not deleted until after the
write is completed! If I lost some, it would only be 1 file, not the
entire supposedly completed move.

3) I cannot use ext3 or fat32 for the usb drives. They must be
compatible with windows systems and support over 2gb file sizes.

3) No, I did not recover very many files successfully because it
happened 3 times before I realized I was actually loosing data,
therefore much of the data was overwritten. It's possible some of it is
still on the source drive... Though I'd expect it to be overwritten too.

4) I will install kerneloops. Thank you for the suggestion.
