Sounds like you are seeing the U3 Launchpad partition that is used by Windows to automate certain functions from the flash drive. The only way to remove the unwanted partition is with the U3 Launchpad Removal Tool. You will find it and the instructions for its use at http://communities.sandisk.com/sandisk/board/message?board.id=u3&thread.id=1066
I have a Memorex TravelDrive with U3 System on it.
It shows up in DU as a drive and a partition. Nothing unusual at all.

  • How do i reformat a hard drive without losing anything on it?

    I just got a message that I need to back up and reformat my external hard drive. I know very little about this process and would like to know how to do so and if this is possible without losing anything on it.

    If you reformat a drive, you will lose whatever information/files are on it. So, the only way to save your info is to copy it to another drive temporarily, reformat your drive (use Disk Utility and format using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the GUID Partition scheme under Options) and then you can copy your information back.

  • How to reformat usb flash drive after formatting it in mac

    I know this might sound stupid but I used a 16gb kingstonflash drive for a backup for my macbookpro since there are only few to back up and I was thinking I can copy the backup files to an external disk after. With that said, I used the time machine and it said that it would erase everything on the USB. I clicked okand then once the flash drive was "made compatible", it started to backupbut the total file is 34gb so I can't use the flash drive as back up.
    I tried reformatting the flash drive, but the total free space is 198mb and even if I removed the partition or erase ( I see a hitachiand kingstonpartition when I looked at the disk utility) it never goes back to the 16gb. I checked it with windows and the USB space is also 198mb out of 198mb (free space) I don't know where the 15.9gbwent.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Them do it on a Mac with Disk Utility.
    On Windows you might have to first delete all the partitions before you can select Convert to MBR.
    But try it on OS X.
    Open Disk Utility with the drive connected and select the Top name of that drive in the left most area of the window.
    Then in the Partition Layout drop down select 1 Partition. Then the Options... button will become active, select that button.
    Select Master Boot Record and click OK. The format should already be MS-DOS (FAT) but if it isn't select that. You can give it a name or not. Then Click the APPLY button.

  • How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion.  I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

    The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive.  I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
    PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
    If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

    Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
    If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
    After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
    Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
    Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
    This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
    This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
    If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
    The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
    And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
    Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
    Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
    Step 2
    After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
    Step 3
    After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
    One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
    The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
    To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
    That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
    To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

  • How to boot from USB flash drive - Portege R500

    Hi,
    I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, brought about 2 years ago, and recently contracted a worm virus that has infected some of the start up files as the minute I log in it logs out again, even in safe mode! Quickest way I can think of sorting it is to reformat it with the XP recovery disc and reinstall windows.
    Problem!! The CD/DVD drive on the laptop stopped working a while ago, have tried pretty much everything in the thread on this site but had no luck.
    So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it that way. However in the boot settings I only have the options of HDD / FDD / CD-ROM / LAN, neither of these will work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?
    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hi
    As far as I know it should be possible to boot from USB FDD
    Im not sure if you would be able to boot from USB flash drive but its definitely worth a try
    Generally you could try to press F12 button when notebook powers up.
    Then a boot menu should appear on the display and you should see all bootable devices.
    PS: As far as I know the USB booting was available in ToshibaHWSetup (Toshiba tool which changes the BIOS settings in windows OS.) Therefore I assume booting from USB should be possible.

  • How to install (using usb flash drive) os x snow leopard on 10.5?

    i have a version 10.5 (leopard), but i would like to install snow leopard (10.6). i tried using bootable usb flash drive using the "utility drive". However, it did not quite work as i expected. Does anyone know how to use bootable usb flash drive to install snow leopard on leopard?

    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current Leopard installer DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Insert the USB flash drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
    Release the key when the boot manager screen appears.
    Select the icon of the USB flash drive and click on the arrow button below the icon.
    When the installer finishes loading follow the onscreen instructions.

  • How do I format a flash drive to fat32

    I need to reformat a flash drive to FAT32 and do not know how to do this.  I am new to the OS environment, I just recently swithed from Windows to Macs

    Flash drives normally are Fat32,
    Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities), insert the Flash drive and select it. Go to the Erase Tab, set the format as MSDOS (FAT) and erase the drive.
    If there is anything on this drive it will be erased.

  • How do I see the flash drive?

    I have a flash drive plugged into the computer.   I see its icon in the Sidebar.  But it would be more convenient if I could see its icon on the Desktop.  How do I get the flash drive to appear on the Desktop?

    Finder -> Preferences -> General. Checkmark to show external disks. That should do it.
    Regards.

  • How do i reformat my hard drive on mac mini late 2011 with yosemite before selling my mac

    how do i reformat my hard drive on mac mini late 2011 with yosemite before selling my mac

    You can't legally sell or give away that computer with Yosemite installed.
    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps listed in this support article, take these steps:
    1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
    6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

    Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
    the driver? This is the point of my question!
    I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

    DP
    The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

  • How Do You Test a Flash Drive for Errors Using OS X?

    HI. In Windows there are Flash Drive tester that tests if there's something wrong with the Flash drive's chips. How do you test a flash drive for errors on OS X? I bought the HP v220w which is tiny for a 16GB and it's metal. The whole thing goes into the plug. Design wise, it is great, it's very elegant like a jewelry. Thanks in advance.
    Gbu.

    Format it for OS X and run a surface scan on the partition. That should show any hardware problems that don't keep it from working altogether.

    if it's fat32 then the mac can read it without problems
    if it's ntfs then you can install programs which make it possible to write to it too otherwise it's read only
