VanguardLH,

You thought it would be straight forward but had to
delve into an obtuse solution.

The solution itself *is* straighforward: Just reformat the stick NTFS style.

That that option was silently(!!) blocked, only to be un-blocked by doing
something in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused
lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard' is what got
me frustrated (funny in the book, not so much on my computer).

I usually bracket my undirected outburst by: snip

Only after you responded to that I recognised that it could have been read
as a personal "you failed to inform me" attack. At the moment of writing I
was not aware of it, and it certainly wasn't my intention.

But yes, maybe adding a tag like that would not have been a bad idea. I'm
already accustomed to using smilies to indicate intent / take the sting off
of some stuff I say, so why not HTML tags too ? :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

VanguardLH,

I/we just gave the hint, not the procedure.

What I wrote there was just to vent my own frustration ...

Okie dokie, that's pretty much what I figured. You thought it would be
straight forward but had to delve into an obtuse solution. I usually
bracket my undirected outburst by:

rant
vent here
/rant

It's pseudo-HTML to indicate you are venting in that section. I picked
up on this after seeing others use this trick.
