Hi Andy, I can't help with any of your questions about Pen or Flash drives themselves, but as to formatting fat32 to NTFS, I seem to remember a message that Barry Toner sent to either this list or the BCAB list explaining how to format a drive to NTFS. I don't have it to hand myself, but if it was, as I seem to remember, sent to this list, it should be in the archives. I hope this helps.
