NTFS and FAT32 on one HDD on Windows 10
Bought myself an old EMTEC Movie Cube S800 but the config of the HDD is kinda strange to me, one part of the HDD is NTFS and the other is FAT32 formatted? Am I going crazy?!

Yes. You can partition the FAT32 to NTFS for better performance.

Certain manufacturers or devices (like media players, or in some cases, external drives) come pre-partitioned with multiple formats for compatibility reasons.
