| 599642 | 2007-10-09 07:33:00 | Has anyone found out how to delete a file on a usb drive with vista? If you highlight it & press delete, nothing happens & if you right click it there's no delete option. Tried changing permission etc. | Phil B (648) | ||
| 599643 | 2007-10-09 08:02:00 | works for me... on any usb key... Does your key come with special drivers or something? vista ultimate here though.. |

| 599644 | 2007-10-09 08:10:00 | I've just been experimenting & found it's because this usb drive has a password protected partition. Even if it's open & I can access it, the files won't delete. The unprotected partition works ok. I'm wondering if it's because I created the partition in XP (fat32). Problem semi solved, good enough anyway | Phil B (648) | ||
| 599645 | 2007-10-09 08:18:00 | Is it one of these U3 flash disks?? These have 2 partitions on them, and can also be pw protected. |

| 599647 | 2007-10-09 08:33:00 | Never ever had a problem and I have 3-4 U3 drives. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 599648 | 2007-10-09 10:20:00 | Which file system is it formatted in? Have you tried deleting the file on another PC? I recommend you format the drive in FAT32 using Vista, just to start from fresh. (FAT32, so older PCs can still see it, definitely not because it is a superior file system.) :cool: If you want a superior file system use ext2.... :p | wratterus (105) | ||
