Continuing my slow (and surprisingly patient, maybe even methodical)
saga of setting up with the Optiplex .... it came with XP Pro, which uses
NTFS . I
have an old 40g external drive that I just plugged in (just to see
what condition it's condition was in?) . It uses FAT 32, and since it
plays the old .wav files I stored there , I know the Opti will open
FAT 32 files, but will the external drive store NTFS files. Logic
tells me "no" but the rest of me tells me I don't know so I better
ask.

It will store "files"... yes. ;-) (See: Peter)

Keep your audio in file sizes that are under a gigabyte, for safety's sake.
That's about 90 minutes in a single, contiguous file. You may never, ever,
have a reason to get close to that, but it's worth tossing out there.

Please excuse me for hijacking the thread, but I have a question.

I am a Mac user. I have a friend with a PC. We both have digi 002s.

He brought over his laptop and we tried to dump his session to one of my
external hard drives and to one of my usb sticks. At no time did the the PC
laptop recognize any of my media. We ended up burning CDs on the PC laptop
and importing the session.

So what's up with PCs that they don't recognize Mac USB or Firewire drives?

Regards,

Ty
