I have a Transcend portable Hard drive. Its currently formatted as FAT32 disk. Thats how it was when I first plugged it in. Will it be safe to format to NFTS? Will it work like a normal hard drive? Will it last as long as it suppose to?
Thank you
Sorry..... NTFS
The Hard drive will be connected to the computer for long periods of time. It will be used to store music and program files, so it will be accessed alot.

If the hard-drive supports NTFS, yes. If you have any data on there, you might want to use the CONVERT command in cmd. Look up google for more info.

Don't panic just yet. You said you connected it to a friends computer. It may have been left in what is known as an open state and no computer will actually recognize it. To find out if this is what happened, have your computer running, plug it in and shut it down while still plugged in. The disconnect it and boot back up, wait a minute and then plug it back in. If the computer now see the external device, then it got left in an open state.
For the second part, down load and burn a Linux LiveCD, boot the computer up with this disk and then plug in the external hard drive. In most situations Linux can recognize the hard drive and if it does you can recover your files. If there really is something wrong with the external hard drive, then probably nothing will help.
