bought a new hardrive and it was fat32 system..it didnt say it on the box when i bought it..so since it is new i figured i might as well follow your instruction..got a msg " dont recognized internal/external drive...so i closed and re-start..got a bad msg " microsoft has encountered a bad error "..so i closed and re-start..then i checked the systemm "fat32 " still..so i was gonna reformat but when the reformat page came on ..left side of the page says " ntfs file ".... ( dont' know whats going on..) so i think i'm just gonna leave it the way the drives are..since its not hurting anything..
