if I want to use the compress capability of NTFS on my U3, will it damage its functionality?

I don't think you can reformat a U3 drive to use NTFS. But you can always try it and let us know if it works.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
easy possible with "convert e: /fs:ntfs /v".
i allready did it with a normal memory-stick - it works fine.
but i did not try it with my new U3 stick - i'm affraid the u3 funtionality will not work anymore.
