Do you have any documentation for the enclosure that you are using? Directions, specifications...anything? 3.5-inch drives is the width parameter of all normal hard drives, while 5.25-inch drives refers to CD/DVD drives. Louis |

There are several reasons that you would want to choose NTFS, FAT32 has a limitation of a 4GB minus 2 bytes file size, NTFS is faster, and has security down to a file level, FAT32 has no security. Here are the specs.

Whenever i transfer my (100++ MB) files,it will have the error
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file F:\mft. The data has been lost.This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection.please try to save this file elsewhere. My jumper setting is Master/single drive setting. I was wondering what could the problem be.and how to solve it. |

"F:\$Mft is the Master File Table (Mft) for the external drive.
it's not something you can visually see. This issue occurs sometimes when write caching is enabled, but the data transfer and cache purging is too slow. Go to the control panel/system/hardware tab and click on device manager. Expand the section where the USB drive is housed and double click the drive. Go to the policies tab, uncheck the box to "enable write caching on the disk". Worth a shot -------------------- Mark
