A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    hi, i was wondering whether it's possible to partition an external hard drive and then format the partition to NTFS. my external hard drive is WD Elements 1TB and is currently FAT32. would i need to format the whole thing or just the partiton? i would prefer ntfs as i've a few files over 4GB that i want to store on the hard drive and i know i could split them into archives with winRAR but it would just take too long. so any advice?

    Checkout http://partedmagic.com/

    You can download the *.ISO, burn the image to disc, and then boot from it to use the partitioning tool to work with your disks.

    Make sure you are working on the right disk before clicking "Apply" ;)
