I guess their are too many variations of Windows hardware to expect complete compatibility. Why can't they make USB or the next connector-type truly universal?

Dude, been trying to avoid THAT discussion.

Hugh needs help with Windows so we don't want it to degrade into THAT argument.

But I hear you.

If it was a Mac Hugh would not be asking since Macs have always supported every partition format out there.

Funny to think the MacOS supports more Windows partition formats than some versions of Windows does.

Don't tell anyone but that screen shot in my previous post was taken on on my Mac running XP. Also have Vista and a couple of different Limux distros installed that I run from time to time.
