Default Pen drive issue


Hi,

I just bought a Kingston 8gb pen drive FAT32 (formatted). But
whenever I copy an .avi file to it. The file of the file approximately
800mb to 1.5gb. The file plays fine in my system. But when I try to copy
it on the pen drive & play it on some other system. VLC player or
windows media player or any player in that case would state as the file
is broken. Is there any patch any fix for it. As it is just corrupting
just the files which are bigger. And sometimes the data also gets
corrupted. I have tried to format it but get an error message that this
drive is too big for FAT32. I cannot format by right clicking on it as
well. And before I forget it also contains a folder by the name of
found.000 & found.002. And I cannot delete it. Can anyone give any
bright idea before I break this pen drive. :cry:

You should format it to NTFS.

Do what Mr. Montgomery told you and format the drives NTFS.
