It shows up as a removable disc in the F: drive, but the volume label is blank and the file system is unknown. I'm running Win 2000 on a desktop PC, but the flash drive opens in my notebook running Win 7. Any suggestions?
Windows 2000 is not too old for flash drives (support was native). What is the brand/size drive you're trying to access? "Channeling the spirit of jboy..."
Many flash drives are now formatted with an exFAT file system. Windows 2000 cannot read this format, Windows 7 can. On your Windows 7 computer, go into Windows Explorer and right click on the drive, click on Properties and look at the file system type.
If it is an exFAT partition, you will need to re-format it to FAT32 or NTFS for both computers to read it.

It's a FAT32 format. PNY 32 GB flashdrive. Is there another workaround I can try? Thanks.
