Hi folks,
Its my first post on here...
I recently purchased an 8GB flash drive (which was formatted to FAT32) but then had problems trying to copy my 8gb worth of mp3's onto it (from my CDs) but it failed to copy them all to a single mp3 folder on the drive.
Next i tried formatting it to NTFS but it wouldn't complete the format (i've searched this forum and others have had that too) so i put it back to FAT32.
All the above was done on my PC at home, so i thought i'd take it to work and try there.
My work PC allowed me to copy all 8GB of mp3s onto the flash drive with no errors. I can safely unplug the drive and put it in again and it sees all of the files and directories.
I then brought the drive back home and plugged it in, and it can't see half of the folders again, some folders show duplicate folder names and some folders are even empty!!!
I'm going to take it back to work tomorrow and see what that shows me this time.
Both systems are running XP (SP2) also.
Any ideas on why i can't see it properly on my home PC ?
(Both PC's are USB2 compliant also).
Thanks
Paul
