Depending on whether the receiving side is a closed and limited system or a more open system with some kind of embedded Linux inside, I'd just try and reformat with a better file system.
I tried ext4. Doesn't even see the stick.
E.g. many TVs know format sticks with XFS, and also the media system in our company car knows EXT2. ;-)
Ext2 I have not tried. Nor XFS. I'll try.
Or at least try some of the other FAT variants (but I don't know about handling special characters).
The ":" will not be accepted by any MsDOS/Windows filesystem, it indicates a disk. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
