| Been using it for quite a while.
| On my Win 7 Pro PC I just now formatted it NTFS and wrote a few
| folders/files to it. All seemed well.
| On my Win XP Pro laptop is does not recognise it and says it is
| corrupted. Tries several USB ports just in case but no luck.
| One of my USB ports on the laptop is flaky.
| I notice that Win XP does not offer to format NTFS.
| Why?
| What can I do to use the Flash most efficiently between both PCs?
| Yes, I may have files > 4G so NTFS (best) or exFat is it

Up to 2GB is only Fat16
Your 32GB is Fat32

Because it is a NTFS
Windows 3.1 Fat16
