usb hard drive

[ddwbi0]

I got one of those small 32mb usb handy drives (or whatever theyre called). The problem is after I load about 9mb of stuff in there, itll say that the drive is full. Is this common, or....is there something im missing? Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe it can only hold a certain amount of a certain file similar to a floppy disk. Have you tried formatting it and what does windows detect it's size as?

Well, after you loaded 9 MB, what was the next size of the file that you tried to load? If it was greater than (32-9) = 23 MB, then Windows will tell you that the drive is full and that the file cannot be copied into it. Otherwise, you should probably try formatting it in Windows and seeing if that fixes it. Be sure to read your manual first because there are some of these flash drives that will be destroyed if formatted in Windows XP (learned this the hard way).

I have a 32mb USB Flash Drive too....I haven't encountered that problem yet...managed to get up to 31mb ish of MP3's or JPEG's on their fine.

Did get a message once regarding a JPEG saying that it was multi-layered or something and the USB drive didn't support that....that was odd.

There couldn't be a limitation on the number of files could there?
