[SWLUG] pen drive formating

[pbhj (swlug)]

Photorec is pretty good is you're interested in recovery; I think it's part of 
UBCD and maybe even Knoppix now. Depends what sort of format it underwent I 
think.

If the pen drive is smaller then vfat will use a higher percentage of space 
for the file structure - I think prior to GB+ sized pen drives that FAT16 was 
the most common format ... YMMV.
