If you're using both Mac and Windows PC (I'm on Mac with Bootcamp, so i'm on windows partition at time of this post) Basically, most macs without the NTFS-3G driver will not recognize NTFS-formatted drives, so if the driver goes bonk, the only workaround here is to splice off a part of the 2TB hard drive to be formatted in FAT32, which works with both Windows and OSX. The hardware is the same between macs/PCs, software is the only thing different. Anyway, on my 2TB, i have a 97gb fat32 partition, so it becomes a temporary holding place until i can move it over to the main NTFS partition. Blah blah blah.
