Title: USB Problems
Post by: squall_01 on September 03, 2008, 05:15:37 AM

Up untill two days ago my second largest usb worked okay.   Its a pny attache 1 gb, I cnat move files on but off an it wont remove the files off of it.  It says write only or something like you would a floppy to keep data from being removed.  But I looked an didnt find any switch an I tried formatting it with only the same error.
