I am using a small portable hard drive to transfer .ts files to various computers.

Worked a treat a couple of weeks ago during a brief stay in hospital using a netbook as my personal video.

The hard drive is formatted in FAT 32 as required initially with my Technomate and works fine with the FoxSat.

Now for the problem.

I would like to use my desktop computer to review and tidy up the files on the portable hard drive. The hard drive on the desk-top is formatted in NTFS and cannot see the files stored on the FAT 32 portable hard drive.


Is there a simple solution?

The fact that the desktop drive is NTFS should not make FAT32 files invisible on another drive.

All PC's can read and write to a FAT32 volume. It should come up as a seperate drive when you plug it into a usb port on your pc.

My thanks to both of you for your replies. Suitably encouraged I pressed on and determined that the problem lay in my extension USB.

Plugged into the back of the computer and up popped the portable drive
