387824 2005-09-14 11:08:00 Well maybe you guys can help me with these USB flash drives..I was lucky enough to be given 2 flash drives..Both the same "My Flash" brand. A 128 & a 256 mb.. Great, I have two PC's. 98se & XP. Excellent for transferring between the two I thought. Not so! The 128 works fine for both. The 256 works on the XP, but is not recognisned on the 98se. The appropreate drivers were installed on the 98se PC.

Not a big deal, but does anyone have any idea to fix this?

387826 2005-09-15 01:29:00 Thanks zqwerty, That's an excellent suggestion. I thought it may be the cause of the problem and something I could easily fix. Unfortunately, checking the 256 flashdrive on the WinXP PC, shows it is formatted Fat32.

Thanks anyway. I may try formatting it again.

Look at the prices: 8MB $99; 16MB $119, 32MB $215, and 1GB $3200. :D
