USB Drive question
Posted: 26 Oct 2005, 04:14
Alright, I don't know a whole lot about Windows' file systems so if I make a blunder here or there, I'd be more than glad to be corrected.
I have a 2Gb Flash drive and I wanted to know this: currently it uses the FAT32 file system, and I wanted to know if I would get much more space by reformatting it to NTFS, which as I understand it, makes better use of disc space in one way or another. I haven't done it yet because I know that it also has system files on it, and I don't know if/how I can preserve these files through the reformatting process. Any help here would be appreciated..
