Paul,

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.
