Hi Andy
Thanks for the advice. But it would be great to know how to convert Windows
to use journalling filesystem.
Cheers

FAT is not a very good filesystem. It's one of the worst ones going,
actually. A journalling filesystem will help lessen any losses you
take due to an OS crash or system lockup, but if your drive is
physically failing, which is quite likely from your description of
"space invader noises", no filesystem can save you. I reiterate: you
need reliable hardware first and foremost.
