Wal-Mart had a nice sale on 8GB flash drives recently. I use one on my Vista box for the Readyboost feature.
I don't have a windows disk. Never had one. When I got this, everything was bundled and well, I'll probably learn what I need to learn when I need to learn it. Here's a question. Can I get another flash drive and back up my Windows XP operating system?

Or, when I re-format the hard drive, will it automatically pop up?

thanks much

Melody
