    Is there any point in changing my 2GB USB drive from FAT to NTFS?
    My pc is XP - not sure whether one of those I need to access may be Win98.

    Hi Jim, format it in Fat32, that`s quite suitable for what
    you`ll use it for.
    It`ll be backward compatible, and, ok for NTFS.

    2 gig is too small to worry about NTFS advantages.

    On a side note if you ever have to stick it in a Mac or Linux computer you
    will be glad it is Fat32.
