375811 2005-07-27 03:26:00 I have just bought a USB storage device to save my work on. For a while everything went fine, but now I can alone something into it, check it is fine, remove the device, replace it, open it and there is nothing there. So of course I would reload the work, but there must be something there because now it's telling me that the device is full. It is supposed to be 128 megabytes, my work is maximum 30. But I still can't see any icons or any work just that the device is full. Diskpie also shows that the device is full of my work. Can the memory be simply wiped? Or is there any way to find the folders? Searching the desk using Windows doesn't help at all -- results nil.GS Guerilla Surgeon (6848)
375812 2005-07-27 03:37:00 Did u eject this before u removed it? If it gives u the option?

And what version of windows have u got? Is the USB storage device USB 2? Is USB 2 onboard?

To format it, hilight it in Windows explorer, or My computer / right mouse, depending on which version of windows u have and then select format.
