Hi there.<br>
I'm not in a position to reformat my drive at this stage to be FAT,<br>
as I am in the middle of a job. <br>
I would love to be able to pull across files from my storage partition but the standard stuff doesn't seem to be working for me.<br>
If you could have a look over this and tell me what is up it would be appreciated.<br>
