Is it just me, or does everybody hav problems with flaky USB hardware?
I recently unplugged my USB key, because it was already disconnected
(according to my computer, trying to make directories on it that
already existed), so after plugging it in again, I am keeping it as an
unreliable backup...like aren't they all, anyway? My two month old USB
hard drive is about the same way, only worse, because the blue light
on it reliably goes out when I access more than five files at once, so
it also, will usually be disconnected.
I recently copied everything to my SATA drive (C--always too small),
and only recently did I realize that FRACTINT should not be working
with drive C, because it is NTFS. It does, anyway. So, I am thinking
that either FracTint has been upgraded to support NTFS, or NTFS (SP3)
haz been upgraded to support software that expects FAT32. Or, maybe
the problem is that I haven't tried batch files (simplgif), yet. Or,
maybe I was misinformed in the first place, and FracTint was always
compatible with NTFS. After all, I don't know any other software with
the same (reputed?) problem of incompatibility with NTFS.
I am certainly glad that I don't need to repartition drive C.
