Hi victor,

I am wondering when an external hard drive, for that matter, internal 
hard drive too, if they were manufactured a while ago and that the 
NTFS format is now standard with most XP and Vista operating system 
and probably very few 98 operating system?

That is an interesting question, huh? I am wondering what 
manufacturers are doing now? Just a thought. I do know that flash 
disc are in FAT32, at least the ones that I have purchased are.
