[Martin Clapton]

file system is fat32. the laptop has a card reader and infa red comms but
no floppy drive is this the reason. should i convert to ntfs.

NTFS is where the security is.

You can if you want, though there is no reason to if you are happy with the
system as is, and have no need for the security features that rely on NTFS.
If you decide to do it, read the caveats here first:
