Yeah, it sounds like your drive is FAT32 - in order to change it, you need to reformat your hard drive, which means erasing everything.

no you don't have to do that. you can use a program like partition magic to change the formatting from FAT32 to NTFS without losing anything. All it does is change the file system so all your files aren't changed.

Hmm... I might need to try this... Now if I could fix my Maxtor drive.... Does anyone know why it keeps telling me to format when nothing is there? It keeps me from using it. Could Partition magic help this?

Partition Magic should be able to help with that. Just select the drive and go to Convert and select NTFS and it'll repair the drive I think. I was playing around with it yesterday and what it does is create a temporary partition for the files, patch the rest and then removes the partition, merging the remaining files with the rest of the Hard Drive. It's pretty quick too. I'm gonna try rendering the movie again tonight and it should work this time.
