Older Dell running WinME
I have a machine i'm tuning up for a friend. Ran all diagnostics; AV; Spyware utilities etc.
Did defrag and scandisk as well.
When finished it was still sluggish so i re-seated both RAM sticks as well just in case. Still slow.
Then i noticed that the drive had been somehow switched to FAT instead of FAT 32.
Just curious , is there malware that could have done this on it's own ? ?
She says she hadn't changed anything.
Also how to convert it back for her without losing data.
TIA,
