Question: USB thumb drive full (1 Viewer)

[Enron]

I think my thumb drive just croaked. I've been retrieving files from one computer and placing them on another. The thumb drive is reading completely full even though it's absolutley empty. Is there a way to fix this? Or should I just go buy a new one?

Have you tried formating it?

Yea, aren't you moving from a PC to a Mac?

It works for both.

Yeah but after a while it goes back to the gayness.

Yep. When I've had that happened, what Zé says has done the trick. Format it as you would a new hard drive in your OS, and suddenly the free space should magically appear.

What is the cause of that?

Congrats on 15K Gregger.

Should do a thread.

Get a bigger one and run portable apps on it. Then you will be totally sharp like me.

That is my dream. To be sharp like Claire.

I love how Americans miss sarcasm almost every time.

Perhaps formatting it with a different filesystem? If it's NTFS change it to Fat or vice versa??
