    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.

    XP can easily handle a mix of FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS without issue.
    A format operation is not necessary for the pen drive.
