Cannot use the files copied from Windows 8/7/Vista in windows XP.

Always there are people who use Windows Xp, the problem is that when I copy the files in my USB and use it in my friends house, then Windows XP said 'pen drive not formatted ".

Always there are people who use Windows Xp, the problem is that when I copy the files in my USB and use it in my friends house, then Windows XP said 'pen drive not formatted ".

How is the "pen drive" formatted - with what the specific OS file system?
 
This is more likely to be a file system - do not operating system (although related, not as much as you might think)-problem.  Another possibility is a problem hardware or bad driver on the machine Windows XP itself.  It could also be, although rare, an incompatible 'USB key '.
 
What is the 'pen drive' is formatted with the file system is essentially - the first question to ask.  Then - if I were you - I everything on the 'pen drive' copy on a computer which can be read - if committed to the machine more common denominator (in this case the Windows XP machine) you will use and FORMAT this 'pen drive' using this machine.  One of the few possible things will happen no doubt...

(1) you'll find you format it with a version of NTFS that will work in all areas - all the machines that you can use with Windows XP or more on them.  Then this problem will disappear.

(2) you will find there * is * something wrong with the Windows XP specific in question and this machine is not a problem easily solved this and your "pen drive" probably will work on someone elses machine Windows XP very well as it existed before.

(3) you will end up with a FAT32 formatted "pen drive" that should work on most any system - as long as you don't need to transfer * really * large individual files.

  • Can the files removed from Windows Explorer after having been imported in the first?

    Hey everybody,

    Pretty self explanatory question. I know that in something like Windows Movie Maker, you must keep all the videos imported to the same place that you imported in provenance, because they are referenced directly from Explorer. Premiere Pro set to the top in the same way, or it creates a cache somewhere, allowing you to edit the content of the Explorer without disrupting the PP? Thank you!

    First is related to where ever you put the files on your computer, it uses the files without copying so that they stay on the pc.

  • None of my programs will open or run, cannot run the files downloaded from the internet, either to try to resolve it.

    I am running windows XP Pro and am unable to open any programs at all.  I was uninstalling some programs add and remove applications in Control Panel and I think I deleted a necessary program, file or something because right afterwards none of files or programs would be open. I get the error the file extension that is not associated with this file. I can't open the system restore program to restore the computer to an earlier configuration. I tried to get a regestry cleaner to fix regestery errors, but none of those I work. I am able to get on the internet and e-mail but am afraid the computer because it cannot be started again. I tried to load a regestery cleaner from the internet but nothing will load or run it. Help!  I also tried to change the program that opens files, but went wrong, and now all files are associated with windows internet explorer 8. I have no idea how I did all this and come back to this computer from the place of the computer because the old hard drive died on me and they put in another. It was working fine until I felt the need to clear up disk space and delete some old programs. I'm sure I messed up and deleted a file that was necessary to open others. I don't have the XP disk to try a fix and nothing in the pages of microsoft download will run. Oh please I don't want to take that back to the computer type that will charge me an arm and a leg. I just made him pay $ 200 last week. Any help will be great.

  • Cannot use the feature set in windows media player for Onkyo TX - NR509 Receiver Media

    I have the Onkyo TX-NR509 and everything works fine except for streaming music from windows media player. (I can sink my iPhone to the receiver box and can even navigate to my music box cylinder head and all the Games very well).

    When I click with the right button on a song and select "play to" and then select the amplifier box "play to" appears and after a while an error message appears "cannot retrieve information about the UPnP Server media."

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 (Windows7 64-bit)

    I made a few simple troubleshooting;

    1. under Network TX-NR509 shows as a support device and I installed the drivers.

    2. I checked the options of streaming media and my receiver is set to "allowed".

    3. in WMP, I did of course "allow the remote control of my player" and "automatically allow devices to read my media" are both checked

    4 reboot the router & mobile.

    I have no idea what could be the cause and to say it's frustrating is an understatement.

    I'd appreciate any help you could offer.

  • Cannot use the feature set in windows media player for Onkyo TX - NR609 Receiver Media

    Original title: Onkyo TX - NR609 Receiver Media

    Hi all

    I have the Onkyo TX-NR609 and it works great except for streaming music from windows media player. When I click on the 'play to' it will show the name of the amplifier and model number which I click on and then it opens the player where it will then tell me that "an error has occurred on the device" and then she'll tell me under the song that tries to open that "the device cannot be controlled."

    I have no idea what could be the cause and that it is a little frustrating is an understatement, onkyo iphone app works fine and I am able to listen to different radio stations as well as I have access to my windows media player via dlna library but it is a bit tedious so I don't tend to use it as well.

    Anyone had similar problems? If so I would appreciate any help you could offer, I was hoping it would be more directly towards the front and then it and exchanging the receiver for one with apple airplay but it brings another problem of having to transfer music between laptop-itunes-iphone/ipad then invert to remove the music and then do the same bloody back and forth. Apple had to do complicated things don't have.

    I am using windows 7 32 bit

    Hello

    Please contact your manufacturer to check if there are any parameters must be defined for Windows Media Player recognize the device control settings.

  • Cannot cancel the file associations in Windows 7 Lite

    I changed my file associations so that the paint (which was used to open the fair rle, wmf and emf files), by selecting all.  It worked, and paint opens now jpg, gif, etc.  I noticed that I was not able to select the types individually - only the select all check box was available.

    However, now I want to change the settings in the original three file types.  I can't always uncheck the file types, I just chose, OR three originally.  Viewer Photo of Microsoft still has the associations in that dissociating the, they are not associated.

    Y at - it a fix for this bug?  I'm up-to-date with my Windows updates.

    Hey Jack,

    Exactly how you try to change the file association?

    You should be able to individually control panel.

    a. Click Start and type default programs.

    b. click default programs.

    c. click on associate a file type with a program.

    d. double-click .wmf and choose paint from the list of programs.

    e. Repeat for other types of files.

    This should be it.

  • Cannot use the file search.

    When I search for files. I get the text next message: Windows Explorer has stopped working & Windows Explorer restarts. This is what is happening without research.

    Hello

    This is mainly caused by an incompatible Shell Extension.

    You can download this reg from my SkyDrive file:

    http://CID-128fc518635be2dc.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/.public/Ms%20Foren/registry/WER%5E_Explorer.reg

    and double click on the file to import. If you are unable to do this, run regedit.exe and import the registry file here!

    When the Windows Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service [1] creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps. Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder [2] and post the link here. I take a look at the discharge with the debugger, maybe that I can see what Shell extension is the cause.

  • Cannot use the Exteranl USB with Windows 7 floppy drive

    I have a removable disk drive 3.5 inch USB connected to my computer running Windows 7.  When I plugged it there was the usual beep that had plugged in an external drive and only came a message that the drivers were installed correctly and the drive is ready for use.  However:

    a. the player is not visible in Explorer, but appears in the Disk Manager and control panel (material & sound-devices and printers).  It "works" according to Disk Manager.

    b. when I insert a floppy disk, nothing does not appear in the Explorer

    c. I tried without success drive letter assignment (miss me something here, I think and need for a better prescription to follow)

    I saw a post elsewhere on the "group policy objectives" but got lost in the talk of technology and could not get something resembling the description in the post.

    Suggestions, please, which will help to get the job of the thing.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    With the description, I understand that you can not use the floppy drive external USB on your Windows 7 computer.

    I would be grateful if you could help me with more information to better understand the problem and a solution:

    1. have you tried another USB port using the USB floppy? If this isn't the case, I suggest you try to use it in another port.

    2 have you tried to use the USB port on a different computer/machine? If not, try to use it in another computer.

    This problem can occur because of incorrect settings. In order to solve the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

    Method 1 : Troubleshooting hardware and peripheral

    Integrated the hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause problems with the equipment. I suggest you run the troubleshooter to check if there is no problem with the graphics card. See albums as follows:

    1. open Control Panel

    2. click Troubleshooting and select the option to display all on the left pane.

    3. click Troubleshooting of hardware and devices and follow the prompts.

    Try Method 2, if the problem persists

    Method 2 : Install the drivers in Compatibility Mode

    I suggest that you try to download the drivers from floppy drive designed for Windows XP or Vista and then install it in compatibility mode.
