    why would you format with FAT32? Format with NTFS.

    Also does someone already know how you can Pin Links and other Applications to the Startscreen you did NOT install? (Portable applications HELLO!)

    Formatting USB flash drives with NTFS is not recommended to begin with :p

    And since there is such little difference between the free space available (3.75GB) and how much of that space will be used (3.6GB), FAT and FAT32 take up very little to no space at all upon format, whereas NTFS takes a decent fraction of the space on format...

    Edit: "Decent" was a tiny bit exaggerated, however, I imagine NTFS will still leave you with less then 3.6GB of space left on that flash drive...

    I have a MacBook Pro.
    When installing the Developer Preview via VMWare Fusion (Mac) I get an error: HAL Initialization Error.

    and it reboots.
    So I can't install it. :(
