but he is still on FAT32 which should not bother him too much.

so again thank you for the help, which in the end I did not need.

as promised you all get pipped for your efforts

If he wants to convert to NTFS later, he can use this command:

convert c: /fs:ntfs

Substitute the HDD letter to match the one the install is on. You need to execute the command in CMD.
