Conversion FAT32 to NFS Success?

Thanks for the reply, but by now I am a bit confused. Since the properties screen for the drive I converted now proclaims it is in NTFS, I went ahead and tried to copy a file to it that was larger than the 4GB FAT limit. It worked! I then tried two more large files. Again, no problem. So, if it now says it's using NTFS and I can copy files to it greater than 4GB, why bother running chkdsk in spite of having gotten the CRC message?

Jim,

It's just that the CRC error usually indicates that you may have a bad sector on the HDD. Running chkdsk on the drive will check the drive to see if it does or not. If it does, chkdsk will attempt to fix or mark the bad sector. That's all.
