I was thinking of moving all my stuff back to the PC from the external and
seeing whether it has the option to format it to NTFS...it takes an age to
defrag and I was wondering whether it was because it is formatted as FAT...

He may just say it is because it is external and save me a job...because it
came preformatted, I don't even know whether the option will be there...

Probably was preformatted to FAT as that would suit most needs...

I took it for granted it was NTFS because the Iomega one that I went to get
that was out of stock was...just thought a Western Digital one would be too

Unusual to get them preformatted, they usually leave that up to the
user.... ;-)

Is nice...but I had the hump when I saw only 111GB out of 120...I thought
being preformatted they would have to state the actual amount after
formatting...

That will be the case as processes send out over the network especially
