It gets worse 😮 XP told me that the flash drive was corrupted, I had to use Task Mgr to close it down, couldn't format it, nuthin! Stuck it in my Windows7 Asus and immediately was told "You must format this drive before you can use it" (it still had the Ubuntu stuff on it) so I set it to do a full (not quick) format at default settings... that was a couple of hours ago, I should think, and it's not three-quarters of the way thru yet 😮

I've been looking at flash drives as recommended by EJ but I do feed reluctant to spend, so am thinking of borrowing a USB DVD drive - wuddee think? (That's my West Country origins showing thru again 😉 ) I'll keep the 32gb stick for data, maybe music or movies?

This is my hard drive (the same shot as I posted here some weeks ago):
