As far as I know, all NT-based systems since 2000 have a convert utility to simply switch from FAT32 to NTFS without losing any of your data. The unsafe-removal warning can be avoided by disabling write-caching, or enabling "Quick Removal" on Windows 7. This feature has also been available for many years. I've ripped out drives without ejecting them on several occasions - in practice it won't do anything to your drive except generate a few warnings of unsafe removal and sometimes warn you of data loss if you haven't set the options mentioned above. Of course, if you decide to remove the disc in the middle of a file transfer you won't avoid partial data loss no matter what system you're using.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
