I tried using NTFS as suggested in several other areas that I found before upgrading to the new card.
I went from stock 2GB to a new 32GB.
I formatted it on my pc to ntfs, copied everything from the 2GB to the new 32gb card & the new card won't mount now??
The contents can be seen on my Win7 laptop though..

Should I format it back to fat & leave it at that? I wanted the Pros of ntfs tho...

you might have to.
the hydro uses "fat" file systemfor the sd card as does linux itself i think.
i don't know if linux will "see" a ntfs drive. don't have that much knowhow with linux.
