thats nearly 65meg of wasted space.

One file was 3.5MB and on stick was 16.5meg.

I tried to convert to NTFS but that failed, and so I tried to format it but NTFS is not an option on the list.

Any ideas on what to do.
I had that problem a couple of years back and used this to enable NTFS on the drive
