i swear i've tried all three types of formats. i can format a disk in windows (XP) just fine, and put a file on there, but the MPC never sees the files...
i've tried formatting the disk in the MPC itself, but then when i go back to windows, it says "this disk is not formatted, format it now?"
i've read around on other boards, and someone mentioned that i need to have a FAT32 partition on my box in order for windows to read it (otherwise it just assumes every disk will be NTFS).
i reformatted my D:\ drive, so now it's FAT32 (my c:\ is still NTFS).
still no love... i'm beginning to think the zip drive itself, or maybe the one disk i have is wonked (freebie hand me downs from a friend).
i just want to verify with you guys... i want it to be FAT32, right?
