Idiotic decisions

Today my company purchased a new 1TB external drive.  My laptop has 2 120GB hard drives in it, but I keep running out of room. 

The hard drive I purchased is a Western Digital.  When I got home I started copying files from the internal hard drives to the external one.  Did I pay attention to the format of the drive?  Of course not.  Why would a company make a 1TB drive and format it as FAT32?  Beats me.  When I tried copying all of my virtual machines to it, I got the error that the drive was full.  It wasn’t full, but FAT32 cannot hold a file that is larger than 4GB.  Some of my virtual hard drives are 16GB.

So I had to move everything back off of it, format it as NTFS, then start the moving again.  Oh well, at least my laptop hard drives will have room to breathe again!
