Don't know! But until I take a peek, I'd like to leave the option open. I will be reformatting the disc soon. I think, at 160Gb, it's too big for a single FAT32 partition, but I haven't checked yet. Mainly, I was just curious about a non-Windows alternative for solving the error that cropped up. I can see why only a Windows solution was made (you're unlikely to have a NTFS disk without also having Windows).
