Here is an attachment of the prompt I get whenever I insert a memory stick.
Contrary to what I said earlier, it does not recommend formatting, rather it
recommends scanning to fix it, however XP has never detected any problems
with it before and I feel like like my data could be compromised if I click
take vista's recommendation. Can anyone else verify if this happens?
