No, its programmed for fat32.
fat32 is much safer for flash drives because with the ntfs system theres a higher possiblilty to losing data in case of power lose or in the flash drive case the unsafe unplug.

I wouldn't try NTFS, as they are normally programmed to use FAT16, although some newer ones use FAT32.
