    External Drive


    I have a WDBBEP0010BRD-01 WD My Passport 1TB. It has many important files in it. I will soon be changing to a new Windows 8 computer soon. My question is: Will the MBR NTFS and FAT32 drive work with Windows 8 computers which mostly use GPT? I also have a MBR drive formatted in FAT32.

    FAT32 is read/write compatible with a majority of recent and recently obsolete operating systems, including DOS, most flavors of Windows (up to and including 8), Mac OS X, and many flavors of UNIX-descended operating systems, including Linux and FreeBSD.
