[QUOTE="pramaprow, post: 1522072, member: 269735"] I can't say enough how appreciative I am... Formatting options on the erase tab: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) MS-DOS (FAT) ExFat Same for both externals...I saw these before but was/am paranoid of wiping all the data on the drives...probably seeing the word 'erase'... I did download that Paragon program a couple of days ago but managed (I think) to uninstall all of it...that's the only software I've recently downloaded...I don't recall downloading any NTFS driver, as both harddrives worked fine (read/write) from the first time I plugged them in... Part of the problem is I could probably go get another external harddrive and try to copy the data to it, but I live in rural Thailand and it's a major deal getting somewhere to get one...all the way to Bangkok is the best option, but like I say, a major deal...I'm a monk, and it would/is basically be a real breach of protocol me out shopping for hardware...but doable I guess, as no one has ever accused me of being big on it (protocol) anyway... Thanks again...hopefully this helps... [/QUOTE]
