| teh smartie pantS!   | How to format format and format some more.....   Hi i guys i was unluckily one of those persons whole fell for the scam running on e bay where the seller was selling a 64GB KIngston drive for just 1100(wth was i thinking  ).... I used the first 20% coupon released and bought for abt ~850 and was quite happy on my savings...Till i actually received the drive.....I pluged it in xp detected it fine showed the correct memory size too ...Then to my dismay none of files i copied to it worked with some testing the problem actually was with the crc... basically the files copied into the drive were not 100% same as the source file so it was basically useless....... Recently i started tinkering with it and i came to the conclusion the problem was file system of drive so as to reset the drive file system i tried to format it.... guess what windows by default cannot format drive's =>32gb (ie through r click format in my comp or dos format cmd)  there then i found hp storage format tool for formatting (only thing that actually worked).... its actually ment for formatting large drives..... the first format didnt do much but after abt the 50th format the drive is now reliable for abt 1gb..... now my problem is 1) how do i format my drive another say 50times at once.... cause if i use the h p tool i will have to manually start the process each time..... 2) Is there any other way the overhaul the file system... The only thing i could think of was to maybe use dos command format I: and looping this... but since windows by default cannot format the command will not wrk any other way pp ???? pls help...even vague ideas will be appreciated.... i am totally clue less P.s:sry for the long explanation   |

Erm.. Its a known fact that fake chinese drives always give you CRC errors. No amount of formatting will get rid of your CRC errors.

incentive hmmm..... if am correct and formats do increse consistancy then 100's of other's who got cheated will also benifit..... Also if it works then [E] will definetly benifit from the increase in traffic.... Thirdly u would have single handedly booseted the market for chineese pen drive's and created a growth in china even during the Economic crisis...... (not sure if its good or bad  )Lastly i would finally start using it other than for a paper weight !!!!! Its upto u man.... Anyways thank........... |

LOL. I would help you. But you gotta wait a bit. You can use the pen drive if its formatted with the correct capacity. Even I am waiting for something  Patience is a virtue young padawan. |
