External WD HD NTFS to FAT32 so it will be detected using WZR-HP-G300NH2

I've checked that the HD is NFTS formatted.

And I've been using this as my backup drive with lots of data files already.

 

I wonder if I change it from NTFS to FAT32, will my data files be affected?

If you format the HDD all your data on it will of course be erased.

Thanks davo.

I can afford to lose them. 

I might have a new one for this purpose.
