   In my case the thumbdrives are all FAT32 - somethig Windows is well   
   aquainted with.   
      
   As far as I know the "problem" was that there was something changed in the   
   non-table part of the boot record (a checksum ?  an ID ? can't remember   
   anymore), and Win7 wanted to rewrite it.   
      
   Non-changed thumbdrives still kept working fine though.
