Hello my Fellow forumers / helpers!

Lately, I formatted my USB drive with an unusual format of ex-FAT. It was successful but when I try to open it up in my DVD player (w/ built-in USB Reader where I usually watch movies through USB drives) it cannot read the contents of it even in the other computer. Also, USB overlaps its capacity (8GB) now reached 919GB.


How to fix this?

Try to format it again to fat16 or fat32. I would suggest fat16 it is less detrimental to the flash, so the manufacturers say.

Good Luck,

P.S. all those cheaper 8gb drives from best buy use really bad components so if you decide to get a new drive get a san disk or some similar in quality (Kingston is generic flash also).
