[QUOTE="Sergio7r, post: 1128836, member: 176434"] Hello! I have a LaCie 1TB hard disk external drive with important files (file type DOS_FAT_32, according to Testdisk software), that I can't get to mount on WINDOWS XP PRO. The thing is I used to use that external drive with a Mac, OS X 10. 5 and all went well: the drive mounted and I could read the files, without ever having any difficulties. Now, for a great number of reasons, to depressing to relate here, I'm stuck with using the referred Windows XP machine. My question: is there any way to convert those weird behaviouring 'DOS_FAT_32' files into NTFS, on a Mac computer? I pose the questions out of two reasons: a). In principle, the Win XP will for sure be able to read NTFS files (of course); b). I will be having temporarly access to a Mac machine, where - I know my LaCie drive will mount, - and the only place where I can access the drive to reformat the files. The kindest regards! [/QUOTE]
