Perhaps you should look at another aspect regarding the drives.

TryHD Tune HD Tune only gives information and does not fix any problems.

Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Make sure you do a full
surface scan with HD Tune.

Your Reports show that both partitions are formatted as FAT32 and
not,

as is more common for computers where Windows XP is the operating
system, NTFS. For volumes (partitions) over 32 gb it is generally
recommended that they should be formatted as NTFS. Both your
partitions

are over 32 gb.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gerry,
something else I'd like to mention :
On an external HD of 80 GB formatted in NTFS
I do have the same problem !

Do You still think formatting to NTFS is the solution ?
