  What program inserted the "wizard" said that necessary to format Flash drives, but when I asked it to be in format, the program said that there was a mistake and they could not be formatted. I then formatted drives using Windows Explorer Disk Manager, reinsert the readers and received the same "...". needs to be formatted, but wouldn't format... "message. I have also received "error 040E2D-00-00000000 code."

  I have googled this error message and found two people who had the same problem with their Toshiba NET books when they attempted to create backup hardware. There are no answers to their requests for assistance. Is there another way to do back ups?

  Thank you

• I just pulled out a flash drive without eject!

  I am technically challenged!  I just released flash drive without ejecting it.  I put it back in, but he does not appear.  Can we do anything?

• Why can't I eject my flash drives safely when you run Firefox?

  When I market/internet browsing on Firefox. I can't eject my flash drives safely. each time, I get this:

  "Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage device - this legacy is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again. »

  Flash drives are not used most of the time, except when I record something for them. Nothing is using them and all the stops and other things are accomplished, but I can't safely eject when Firefox is running. I have to close Firefox to eject safely. I can't in safe mode, however. Is a weird glitch, or something else happens with Firefox?

  I found the culprit using Process Explorer. It is RecordingManager.exe which is part of the extension RealDownloader 1.3.0 from RealNetworks Inc.. I could see it was making reference to my letter of the USB drive, don't have however no idea why it was.

  Kill the RecordingManager.exe process while leaving the FF running meant I could now eject the USB key.

  Deactivation of the FF extension has prevented the problem from happening again.

• Toshiba Kira - Win 8.1 cannot see all files on the 64 GB flash drive

  Hi all

  Newbie on this forum. I just bought the i5 8 GB of RAM Windows 8.1 Kira Ultrabook, a great little machine.

  I have a SanDisk 64 GB flash drive that has about 20 GB on it in a dozen files. These folders and the content can be seen by my Windows 7 PC, even my mobile phone and Tablet Tower.

  However, the Kira cannot see both files, even if in the properties of the drive, he sees the space correctly. Turned on all folders and no difference.
  My wife has a 32 GB flash - no problem.

  I reformatted the flash disk, run a virus on the disk and the Kira. The Kira can someone verify the maximum size flash can see it please? I can't find it in any documentation.

  Any help or suggestions appreciated - I ran support Toshiba without a response, so maybe someone here can help you.

  The appearance of the folder is not in your laptop model or your system!

  I recommend you to check some common view windows Explorer settings:

  (1) to see the hidden files and folders reported as
  Click the view tab, and then click Show hidden files and folders.

  (2) to display all the system files that are usually hidden from view.
  Click on the view tab, and then clear the Hide protected operating system files check box.

  Here you will find all the information about the folder views and behavior

  Hi subhshy001,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

  Try this if you do not have

  Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

  If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

  Follow these steps:

  Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

  (1) open: Start Menu ,.
  (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
  (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

  There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

  Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

  OR

  Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

  If the steps above do not work then:

  You can scan your computer for malware.

  To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
  2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

• Vista backup cannot reuse the same flash drive

  How can I reuse my flash drive to another backup? Vista knows it has been used before, even if I deleted the old backup.
  thanx

  Hi Joy77,

  Is there anything else being stored on another flash drive backups? Otherwise, you might save a few headaches and just format your drive.

  Warning

  • Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.

  • You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

  • Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

  1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. In the Navigation pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

  3. Right-click the volume you want to format and then click on format.

  4. To format the volume with the default settings in the dialog box format, click OK, and then click OK again.

     For more information about the formatting of a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

• Why this flash drive cannot be used for loan boost in windows 7?

  I have a flash drive 8 GB Kingston which is useless, but functional. I decided to use it to boost lending. So, when I go to ready boost in windows 7, it says this drive cannot be used as ready boost I've tried several times but the same answer. When I try to use it as ready boost preview of consumer windows it says OK. I have set up as ready boost. I also format and then try but same answer in windows 7. How can I use this disk as ready boost in windows 7?

  Sometimes the reader is not fast enough for Readyboost. BTW: How much memory you have in your PC? You can even no need for ReadyBoost.

  But, to force Windows to use ReadyBoost (even with a slow flash drive): http://www.mstechpages.com/2010/10/12/force-readyboost-on-a-usb-device/

• Cannot click on "Remove hardware" to eject external drives in the system icons tray

  First of all, it's not the usual problem whereby Windows refuses to allow me to eject a flash disk because it is in use; My problem is different.

  I can't really top click (left or right). It applies only to this icon - all others, including the management of power, wireless, bluetooth, etc work fine - touchpad driver I can click on each of them. It is very annoying, because instead of this, I have to go to my computer to eject the flash drives, which is clearly more hassle. I see no reason why this happens no matter what light you can throw on this issue would be appreciated.

  Should I reinstall the USB drivers? If so, what are those who control the external drives...?

  Note: the actual usb drives work well when connected.

  Yes, the 3rd link is a bit complicated for Vista or Windows 7.

• My PC cannot detect any flash drive...

  Hi guys!

  I'm having a problem on my PC lately. Suddenly, he cannot recognize any drive flash inserted on this subject. the same one I used before. It doesn't show even on disk management and Device Manager. even if I hear a noise when I insert the flash drive. I tried to insert on the other computer and it works.

  I even tried to uninstall my USBs, and then restart the computer, but nothing happens.

  I am positively sure that the usb ports are working and perfectly fine...

  pls help...

  Thank you...

  Can uninstall you, at least temporarily, Deep Freeze, which should remove driver and registry entry and see if that makes a difference.
