Hi all, I don't usually contribute on here, so thanks for allowing me to do so. Anyway, from a general computing point of view, you should *only* format any media, including thumb drives, hard drives, etc, if the file system becomes seriously corrupted. True, it erases all the data, but unless you can fork out money for data recovery, you might as well lose data to get your media working proper again. Just some thoughts there.

I have not had to reformat or erase my Kingston thumb drive yet. All I do is 'command+a' to select all, then hit the delete key and I have a clean thumb drive with the original amount of space on it. Have been doing this for about 3 years now and it always seem to work for me. JG On 10/23/07, VaShaun Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks
