External USB HD - this is wierd

[Greenwald]

Is this possible? I bought a USB 2.0 external HD case by Cosmos. It's a universal case that can accept a CD/DVD burners, HD's, etc. I installed a removable HD tray the exact same as I have in my PC so I can swap drives. My NTFS drives now show up as FAT32 in this drive.

Looking at the instructions (written in very poor English) pertaining to NTFS, it only says something to the affect that drives "like to be FAT32". Am I going to have to send this back? Can NTFS drives work with USB housings in general? How about Firewire? I do video editing, therefore the NTFS. Thanks in advance.

I have an external USB 2.0 enclosure, and it works fine with NTFS. Not sure what to tell you, thats pretty strange.

I have external USB2 drives formatted in NTFS. I even have one that is split evenly into NTFS and FAT32 partitions so it can also be read on WIN98 systems. No problems with any of them.

My drives are in BYTECC cases that can also take CD-rom drives, etc.
