I have purchased a new drive, but all the diagnostics say the my drive is OK. I am going to hold off on changing for a while. It had been 30 days and 18 shows since this happened last. There is one difference in the two drives, the DJ drive is NTFS and the Karaoke drive is Fat32. If you have any insight I would love to hear it.   |
Laddie,
You need to convert that FAT32 drive to NTFS. I don't think this is related to your intermitant problem but is definately a security risk, not to mention that NTFS reads the disk faster than FAT32.
To do this click on START/RUN and type in "cmd" and hit Enter. When the window opens type "
convert drive_letter:
/fs:ntfs " replacing "drive_letter with whatever the drive you are converting is (ie. D:, E:, F:, etc.) This will convert it without losing any data.
