FAT or NTFS for thumbdrive? <a href='http://ads.infinisource.com/server/www/delivery/ck.php?n=ad3002c8&cb=8798123' target='_blank'><img src='http://ads.infinisource.com/server/www/delivery/avw.php?campaignid=17&cb=8798123&n=ad3002c8' border='0' alt='' /></a> I just bought a 1G MobileMate thumbdrive and when I looked at the harddrives at defrag it's a FAT system. My 18G Gateway XP Home laptop v2002 IE7 says NTFS system. Is this a prob? I haven't done anything with it yet. Chas.
