i have a usb problem. I have sandisk 8gb usb drive. My problem is that whenever i try to save something to the device it says that it is full. When i check to see if it is full there is no files or folders. So it obviously isn't full but it says it does. i checked the info and it says i have almost no more capacity left in the usb pretty much telling me its full. So if anyone can please help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
and don't buy usbs because they look cute or pretty. those may be nice for holding a couple mp3s for a short period of time, but they aren't good for storing really valuable important backup. usually they are defective/fake.
you might have purchased a 'fake' usb. there are some usbs that claim to have 8.0 GB but are actually low level capacity. so like you see here in the video, where it says capacity, it might say 8GB or 8,000 MB, but actually it only has 2GB. this doesn't just make the usb simply stop when it reaches 2GB capacity, it actually goes ahead and rewrites over whatever is on your stick. it basically goes through a loop. there's supposed freeeware that can help detect fake usbs.
hey...do u know how to fix the problem of my 8gb usb flash drive? the problem is..."i saved many files already on my usb flash drive, then i removed the usb when its done...but when i put it back on the pc, the other files were gone/missing/hidden...i reformatted many times but same thing happen when i save a files...and memory used is still there. pls help anybody...ty
try to insert ur flash drive on other usb port, then right click the MY COMPUTER ICON and click MANAGE... click on DISK MANAGEMENT and try to format that drive... if not, try to format your flash drive on other computers...
ok do this it will work...start >>control panel >>folder options (if you don't see folder options, look at the left side and click ( classic view ) click on folder options, little box showed up, click on ( view ) look inside the box and check the little box says...show hidden files and folders...click apply..click OK..now it should work fine.
@MrCDLDRIVER thanks for the video and insturctions. I selected the folder options show hidden files and folders and I still get a message saying my usb thumb drive has malfunctioned. Any thoughts?
