I have an 80G External HDD that became full of backups so I thought I might
just format it rather than delete everything individually so I could start
out fresh.
When I clicked on the File/Format option in My Computer it only has NTFS,
but my drive is formatted as one FAT32 partition. So I ended up removing the
files with the Remove function of a drive scanner program I have.
I assume that if I tried it would have refused somehow, but it left me
wondering--would it possibly change the format type if I let it? If so,
would that do any good (e.g. for cloning)?
