[Discuss] Netgear ReadyShare

[Jerry Feldman]

Jerry,
First, we have seen this post. Sometimes you won't see your own posts. Go

So as I understand it you are writing to a flash drive connected to the
router. Could it be that the flash drive was removed before the file was
fully written. Should not matter if the flash drive is FAT32 or NTFS. Could
be simply a timing issue.
