FAT just means file allocation table - it's the file system that came before NTFS and it is on just about every memory stick/flash ram card.

He will be staying indoors on his antibiotic/homeopathic cocktail for the next four weeks..........he's NOT out of the woods.....vet says it could flare up at any time...:(...but his chances have improved since this time last week :j:j. Next vet visit - 4 weeks time
Wol has made complete recovery following "womiting wednesday"..:beer:..but has not been able to get a lot of work done as has been interrupted by visitors/phone calls etc all day today :mad:
No news re the biopsies :mad:

Difficult to get any sense out of her :wall::wall::wall:..she can see the pictures when she puts the card back in the camera ( I think
). But when she puts the card in the card reader, the computer can;t read the images ....there are just black squares....
.despite the fact that arlier on she successfully transferred some of the images from the card onto the computer....but now it can;t access any of the images at all
