27. Removable Media

• Most removable media also have partitions, but they use the same structures that hard disk use.

• The exception to this rule are floppy disks that are formatted for FAT12 in a Windows or Unix System.

• Some thumb drives do not have partitions and contain one file system, and some of them do have partitions.

• Flash cards commonly used in digital cameras, also typically have a partition table.

• Many flash cards have a FAT file system and can be analyzed using normal investigation tools.
