No warning. I lost tons of data. To be honest, as far as i know using a memory stick to keep your data is not the best of ideas. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the chances of a memory stick failing and crashing is bigger than that of a hard-drive, as after a certain number of writes and reads from it.
