USB Removable drives
I have just installed the new vista operating system trial and come to put in
my usb removable drive to get files off it only to find that vista says usb device unrecgonised. I thought it might be because the drive is fat32 and copied files to the drive fine using xp professional. I can't format the usb drive to ntfs because i want to get my files off first. Does vista not recognise fat32 drives and how can i get my stuff off? Or is there other reason why it won't read it.

USB Removable drives
USB flash drives are FAT format and mine have all been recognised with Vista
I can transfer files to and from. I have also been able to use my external drives USB & firewire although they are formatted to NTFS but preume they would react in the same way.

USB Removable drives
Same problem here... but I know my USB external is formated NTFS... but Vista
won't mount it. Shows as an NTFS device in the explorer too. "pippin" wrote: USB flash drives are FAT format and mine have all been recognised with Vista I can transfer files to and from.
