Why Windows wasn't using the copy is strange, but as we all know "Microsoft works in mysterious ways". You may wish to reconsider the use of FAT32 though. FAT32 is beyond being simply long in the tooth, particularly in the file size limit. NTFS is a better choice for maximum file size, recoverability and overall robustness: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm |
