Buying some stuff on eBuyer yesterday when I stumbled on a huge capacity (and cheap) memory stick, and thought it might be useful as a back up for the work back up drive (Western Digital Passport portable hard drive).
Using MS Backup (part of Windows XP), the file size is about 20Gb. So I was not best pleased when the memory stick declared itself full at only 4Gb, which I understand is the limit for FAT32.
Properties indeed shows the memory to be FAT32.
So, two questions:
1) Can you reformat memory sticks to NTFS? I fear not.
2) Can you buy big capacity NTFS memory sticks?
Grrrrrrrrrr!!
