Would the USB ports on a 6 to 7 year old laptop still see newer versions of USB flash drives?
I need to take off about 1 to 3GB of photos of my Sisters laptop prior to her buying a new laptop.
The most easy way to do this will be putting them on a flash drive & burning them via my pc's dvd-rw.
Cheers in advance.

USB 2.0 is backwards compatablie so you should have no problm using a flash drive in to retrieve the photo's you want...

Yep, like MadX says it should work - but it will be slower than on a USB 2.0 port

Cheers for that.
