Uriahdemon Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Evening all. It seems my FLX desk will only recognise a FAT32 formatted USB stick. The problem is that my PC (Win7) gives me the bothersome problem of not copying files with all its properties if being copied to a FAT32 formatted USB stick. Has anyone else come across this problem and if so how do you get around it please....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not encountered this problem on Win7 or Win10. Please can you explain exactly what's not getting copied across?

Uriahdemon Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi Jon, I have not gone into exactly what is not getting copied but will do this evening. Are you saying that I should ignore the prompt i.e. copying without all properties......?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need as much information as possible please. For example, a screenshot of that prompt ?

iank99 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Windows 7 will want to be copying the files from its NTFS system with the attendant security information and flags and so will be issuing the warning because FAT filesystems doesn't carry that data (from memory they use an 8 bit field to set read/write permissions) whereas NTFS uses a a larger file header). It's a warning issued so that in a corporate environment - file security and ownership is maintained across several users - for you and your FLX, it's not an issue and you can ignore the prompt.
