Hi Mikkel, > I find it strange that any drive of that size can not be formatted > FAT32. I'm equally unresolved. These 2 USB thumb drives can't be formatted as FAT 32. I tried many times in past on FC3 box running; - fdisk to set the FS as FAT32 and then formatted it with vfat - mkfs -t FAT32 "fdisk -l" only showed them as FAT16. Would fdisk can't recognize FAT32? > I could see where the BIOS might have a problem if it is > looking for a specific signature at the start of the drive.

They worked on FC3 without problem either for storage or for running "Linux on pendrive". They booted on FC3 and the OS running on them worked similar to the OS running on HD or Live CD B.R. SL
