Hi Eric, Yes, in fact the DT Micro drive is formatted to FAT32 out of factory. Thank you for choosing Kingston Flash Drives! -Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

Yes, it comes from the factory formatted with FAT32 but you can reformat it with NTFS if desired or most any other system.

Not under the supported systems. But most likely you will have to change to FAT32 in order to backup.

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

Yes, but it needs FAT32 file format and won't read NTFS* (which is default on most drives). This link shows how to quickly reformat your drive while also making sure you back up your data. http://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32

I haven't used mine yet, but it will come formatted in NTFS. It's kind of a given. Though you can virtually use any portable hard drive with the PS3 or Linux. All you need to do is download a little program called fat32format, and you can format the hard drive in FAT32 (Which the PS3 can read) regardless of size. I did this with a 500 GB and a 1 TB hard drive for my PS3.

Formating this device to FAT32 will work on any Windows OS or MAC PC. Yes, I plan on storing Pictures forever on this device.

For it tk recognize the whole drive you'll need to reformat the drive in FAT32.

Hook up the external hard drive to your computer and when you open it inside, there should be the FAT32 program inside which you install to your computer. It should give you further directions to format the drive after you install the program to your computer. I bought it last year so that's the best I remember. You can also look it up online or in the manuel that came with the drive.

The drive must be formatted with the FAT file system and then it works. This mean nothing over 32GB.

I believe it ships in Fat32. If not it is easy to reformat it with Fat32 filesystem.

I don't know. My problem with the drive was the format function would fail to ever complete.

If you're running a mac, use the disk utility to see what format it is. If you need to reformat it you can use FAT32 or MAC OS Journaled. http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilformat.htm

The FAT32 format is normally limited to 4Gb file sizes and you will not be able to see "all" of a big drive it is formatted FAT32 from windows. In order to get around this, you need to use a tool that can format the drive to FAT32 but with extra large partitions. The easiest tool for this something like CompuApps Swissknife, which is a freeware app that can setup an ultra large FAT32 drive:http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm

It comes formatted in ExFat so you can use files greater than 4GB out of the box. You can format it to NTFS if you like or have devices that aren't compatible with ExFat.

No. Simply plug in the drive and start copying files. It may be necessary to reformat the drive depending on your preferred file system (I reformat to "HFS+" for my Mac), but you absolutely do not to install software to use this. I believe both Judith and Vitalino are speaking of device drivers (on a Windows system), rather than the software included with the drive.
