USB "Thumb Drive" FAT32 to NTFS?
 

Hi all. I have a 1 GB PNY Thumb drive. I love the little thing. I recently read a post somewhere else about how you can format the thumb drive to NTFS. When I try to format the drive I'm only given the options of FAT and FAT32. Is there any way to force NTFS? From what I read, NTFS would lend to quicker read/writes. It's not a big deal, but if anyone has a 1 GB PNY Attache and knows anything about this, please let me know. (XP Pro SP2)

its posible, mine is NTFS

here is a quick guide

but you will be unable to use it on MAC systems, and linux can read but not always write. (all normal NTFS limitations)

Dilbert1234567, Thanks. Just the info I needed. I don't often deal with Macs or Linux, so NTFS is fine. Thanks for the info.

don't forget win 9x don't like it either...

steveincolumbus, I do know that 9X and USB is iffy, and I know that 9x and NTFS ain't happening. But thanks for the heads up. I use the drive for work and for fixing random computers. To me, and I mean no offense, if you are running 9X, well, I don't really want to mess with your computer anyway. Unclean!!
