My hard drive finally died on my TM7100. The Technomate kept wanting to format the drive. So took the drive out and tried to back it up, but it had too many errors, so I’ve bought a new hard drive. When I’ve installed it I had two options, format as fat32 or as ext2 (recommended). If I go for the recommended setting (ext2) is this going to cause problems at a later stage if I am trying to use a pc to back it up? Obviously fat32 would be easier to back up, but it’s not the preferred option for the Technomate.

How much difference will it make if I format as fat32
