Thanks Ken, alas I do not know how to use NTFS....IB


There's very little you need to know. Just reformat the drive and
choose NTFS.

I just bought one of these flash drives to back up some of the more
important data on my computer (Windows XP), and for some reason the
backup
was terminated after only a little over half the capacity was reached:
showing free space of 3.41GB, from the capacity 7.42GB.
The File system was FAT 32. Could this be the reason? And what are the
alternative?


Yes, that's the reason. FAT32 has a limit of 4GB for a single file.
Use NTFS instead.
