Not sure if this is a Leopard bug, a fault with my USB drive or something I'm doing wrong- so please bear with me 
I have a 4GB USB Flash Drive from www.play.com - their own branded one.
It is formatted as MS-DOS (Fat) and whenever I delete files the empty space doesn't re-appear?
Say it's completely empty- I add 1GB of files and then delete them, the available space doesn't go back to 4GB. It remains at 3GB although Get Info on the drive shows 4GB total capacity and 0 files?
Do I have the drive formatted wrong? (Note: I need it to be readable/writeable on my friend's Vista Laptop too, so making it Mac format isn't an option)
Is this just a Leopard bug?
Or am I doing something wrong?
I just Erase using Disk Utility each time but wondered why this happens?
Thanks for any replies
