Default Flash Drives back and forth PC to Macs Question

("Dudley Henriques" wrote)
I notice that some of my flash drives are FAT16 and some are FAT32. Their
general use is on the IMac, but every now and then I need to carry a file
on over to the PC. I'm not having trouble doing this. My question
concerns whether or not there is any advantage in using FAT16 over 32 or
visa versa?



I had an odd screen pop up when I tried using a Western Digital (external)
120 G Hard Drive, as a go between, for an XP to Vista "Easy Transfer" files
& settings conversion.

Vista did not like the FAT 32 format of the WD Hard Drive. The "Easy
Transfer" software was installed on both pc's. Anyway, I finally got
frustrated and bought the kit, with (special) cable, instead.
