I just bought a Kingston 8GB flash drive that's formatted in FAT32 by default. When I tried copying a file that's >4GB, I got the nice message that says FAT32 can't take 4GB.
If I went to format the thing in NTFS, what's the pros and cons of doing so? Will it be Mac compatible / Have reduced usable memory etc?
Any ideas? (It's not something I have to get around. Just thought it'd be nice to have a HD movie around in case I got bored)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I want one of those cool gold terra cotta thumb drives made by Kingston, but they only come in 4GB size.
Formatting your stick for ntfs will definitely reduce the amount of available space, if it can even be done.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
erm its impossible to formad pendrive to NTFS i think - FAT32 was highest setting for mine 8GB(got backtrack3 + some lan games on it in case of lanparty). Also i hate Macs so i wont know if its mac compatible(yes i used mac thats why i hate them)Originally Posted by Buffalobiian

Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
