• USB Flash drive problems

  I have a USB key that does not work. It's a drive 8 GB flash USB 3.0 which has been formatted and works on my Macbook Pro. The problem comes when I try to use it on a Windows device.

  When I format it under OSX Extended it appears under Windows but is empty.

  When I format it in FAT, under Windows it says that the device must be formatted first

  Either way, when I go to format the device on Windows it says that is only 200 MB space

  Any help would be appreciated.

  If you want to use a USB flash drive on the cross-platform (Win, Linux, OSX) computers you have the next chance:

  -MS-DOS (FAT) format:

  

  If you want to start the drive on a PC or use it with older versions of Windows, you may also need to set the partition to the Master Boot Record (MBR) for full compatibility Windows scheme:

  • Click the drive, and then select the tab "partition".
  • In the "Layout of the score" dropdown, select "1 Partition".
  • Click on 'Options' and choose "Master Boot Record" as the type of partition, then click 'OK' and 'apply '.

  Format discs very quickly, although the total time required will depend on the size of the drive.

  The file system resulting is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X, Windows 95, 98, Windows XP, Vista, 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, is one of the most widely recognized and usable file system formats. What makes FAT ideal of the file system to use for external hard drives or USB flash drives that are designed for use in environments with multiple operating systems.

  ATTENTION! The main drawback to the use of FAT32 is the file size limit, which limits the files on the drive to be 4 GB in size or less. If you need single files to be larger than 4 GB, use exFAT, even if you lose compatibility with older versions of OS X and Windows.

  -Format in NTFS and use a program like Paragon NTFS on your Mac ($ 15/20).

• USB Flash drive problem

  My USB FLash drive is a Transcend JF V30 4 GB, the problem is when I connect it, it shows the safe removal icon in the system tray, but don't show as a removable disk in "Cpmputer. I've included a screenshot.
  

  If the screenshot isn't visible, click here

  It is probably a case of unassigned drive (USB key).

  1. right click on my computer icon

  2. click on manage.

  3. go in "Disk management" / removable devices and assign a drive letter it manually.

  4. right click on the drive without letter & click on "change drive letter and paths...". »

  5. click on 'change '.

  6 assign an alphabet.

  7. click on OK.

  There should be an unassigned drive exists in the disk management table. I'm so sure because your USB 'plug & play' detects the drive & drive (Hardware) is also correct on the other machine.

  Recently, I saw something on the CATALYST of the interface driver. There is an option "INSTALL HDMI AUDIO Driver. I was surprised to see this option under Graphic-catalyst-Driver. But it is logical, the HDMI is a video like Audio (AV) connection.

  So please try to install the latest driver of your interface.

  Mr President I upgraded my hp envy j048tx to windows 8.1 and have updated all my drivers using HP support assiastant... so when I apply a right click on any file... its takes time to open the contextual menu... long u please you suggest?

  Hi Vira_Bathwar, welcome to the Forums of HP. The right-click menu is also known as the "context Menu". This can accumulate and get cluttered over time, causing it to be slower. The other possibility is system performance issues. I found a similar thread with a few suggestions that have worked for other people know this symtom.

• Windows 7 USB Flash drive - if I click on Scan and difficulty after you insert the disk, it erases my files

  Original title: Windows 7 USB/Flash drive problems

  In Windows 7, if I plug in my USB drive, the message box appears titled ' do you want to scan and difficulty of removable disk (e :))?»  If I click on Scan and Fix, he deletes my files (or so I thought).  I hope that the files are still there and I have simply can't see because the drive is FAT32 and not NTFS (it says that most of the drive is NOT of free space, so I assume that the files are still there).  What should I do to see / access files?

  Note: A reader, I never selected "Scan and repair"... so I can still see/access files.
  On the other drive, however, the first time I plugged it on Windows 7, I clicked Scan and Fix and it erased all the files on this drive (I guess).  This of course got me very angry.

  Hi MichaelGramm,

  It seems that the file format has been corrupted. You might consider formatting the drive in NTFS file system and check if this solves the problem. For Windows 7, the best choice for hard disks is NTFS.

  Note: Make sure that you back up the data before formatting the disk.

  See these articles for more information on formatting disks and flash player:

  Formatting disks and drives: frequently asked questions

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/formatting-disks-and-drives-frequently-asked-questions

   

  Caution:

  Formatting erases all existing files on a flash drive. If you format a flash disk that has files on it, the files will be deleted.

  Hope this information helps.

• cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

  I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

  I have no Internet on the computer, so that means I can not update my drivers. And I have a few drivers in my flash drive I want to install, but I can't.

  Hello:

  Looking at your other posts it seems that you have yourself painted in a corner.

  Since there is no inheritance or the setting USB auto in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, then put it in a USB drive enclosure sata hard laptop, plug in another PC so it can be read, download the drivers there, you need and copy to you user profile on the hard drive removed.

  Chapter 5 maintenance manual provides the procedures of withdrawal and replacement for the hard drive.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03733656

  Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go.

  These would be the drivers you need for your model...

• What is the best method to add data to a file stored on a usb flash drive to avoid too many write cycles?

  Hello

  I'm trying to store an important data on a cRIO sampled stream in the USB flash drive.

  I believe that there are two ways to add data to a file:

  1. open the file outside of the loop, then write to the file loop, then close the file outside the loop.

  Pros; More quickly and efficiently than the opening and closing of files in a loop is resource heavy equipment.

  Disadvantages; If the program fails partially through, all data is lost.

  2. open the file, write to the file and close the file, all in the loop.

  With the advantages and disadvantages as opposed to option 1.

  As my cRIO is finally deployed in a hostile environment and data are valuable and processing speed is not an issue of concern in this project, I'm leaning towards option 2, but after a few basic calculations that I realize that I'll be writing/opening/closing the file of thousands of times and I wanted to know if this will wear out the flash memory?

  My uncertainty is due to not understanding what happens when a file is opened written to and closed.  He writes the new data to new areas of the flash, or it write all data on top?  The latter would cause me problems not too long term!

  Any help gratefully received.

  A big thank you and best regards,

  Ed

  The 'magic' is not in the File Format (PDM vs vs binary text), but in the "life" of the file.  This solution creates a file of 24 hours and maintains a different file for each day.  If the USB "dies", you lose everything you have not backed up somewhere.  If the program dies (or errors), you lose the data for the current day.  You end up with multiple files (which can be a more or less), but we must still make the trade-off between (duration) of the file and the file number opens (which relates to your concern for the longevity of the USB).  By the way, I suspect that a good quality USB key (it's what you mean, right?  Or do you mean a hard drive USB powered?  Comments probably apply both) can predict today to not die on you, everything just because you make a lot of reads/writes (of course, you could get in-a-thousand...).

  This version corrects HP usb readers that have read-only problem (unable to write to the USB because it says as its read-only).

  USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II) is supposed to be the fix more successful by both programs.
