I went to a seminar yesterday, and all the presentations were provided on a 2Gb memory stick. All very nice. I've now copied the presentations on to my computer, where they'll be very useful.
I then tried to delete them off the memory stick, but they won't delete. Tried to reformat the drive - won't format. On looking at the disk on Windows, it has a size of about 1.8Gb,
Can't delete the partition. On top of that, actually reading the stick is very slow, and if it's plugged in, I keep getting delayed write failed messages, even if I'm not actually reading or writing to the stick. I can't write to the disk either. (There doesn't seem to be a write protect switch either - so it's not that)
It's only a 2Gb stick, so its not a big deal, but I'm intrigued as to how they did it, and if it can be undone.
Any ideas?
John
