Unable to Format HP 16GB v239 Pen Drive
Sir,
We have HP 16GB v239 Pen Drive which storage limit is 15.02GB but while formatting the device storage shows on only 302MB limit for NTFS.....
Now I surprised for storage an error so we could not have format it to back to its original capacity storage(15.02GB)....
Please guide me
It's a flaw in how DU reports the free space when the device is freshly formatted. If you select the Desktop icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window you will see that the full 15.7 GBs is reported as free.

Will time machine backup external 16gb USB pen drive?
I have a Macbook at home but PC at work. I carry all of my work on a 16gb sandisk pendrive which i work off on both computers. I want to back everything on my mac as well as the pendrive (which i make changes on daily) to an external hard drive or time capsule. My question is: will time capsule check for changes on the pen drive and back them up or does it only check for changes on macbook hard drive? Up till now i have to drag entire contents of pen drive every time i want to back it up which is time consuming!
TM will back up any directly attached drives but only provided they are formatted mac os extended. by what you describe your USB stick is formatted FAT in which case TM will not back it up. you can try using something like Chronosync to sync the drive when you need to. or you can reformat the drive mac os extended. however, windows can not read mac os extended format without extra software like Mac Drive which you'd have to get.

Unable to format the 1TB iomega USB drive
I just bought a 1TB Iomega USB Desktop hard drive, but once I tried to reformat the drive, it's only showing 1x 500GB drive instead of 1TB. I am not sure if there is a malfunctioned hard drive or there is a way to fix it in the disk utilities. Please help!
Thanks.
I am using intel mac mini, OS 10.4.11.Hi,
from waht I know the 1TB drive consist physically of two 500GB harddisks.
So it sounds as if you have either only formated one of the drives or the 1TB drive is set to the 'Mirroring' modus in which the two HDs inside act like a mirror of one to the other, which results in the capacity being cut to 500GB.
Have a look inside the Iomega manual to determine how to use it with your Mac for full capacity of 1TB.

Pen drive will not appear or format on iMac
Hi
I have a 16gb hp pen drive and i used it with my imac one day then the next it will not appear unless viewed in the disk utility, even then it is greyed out. I need to format it as it has information i need to delete off it, but when i choose erase it comes up with the following error message. "POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory"
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank youI know this may be presumptuous of me, but have you tried plugging it in to other ports and or rebooting? Also, try using the First Aid of Disk Utility to repair and or verifying it.
I think there is some issue with Snow Leopard and USB drives. I have a 32 GB USB drive that will not be recognized on my powered USB hub, but will be recognized when plugged directly into my iMac. Yet, that same USB drive will be recognized while plugged into the powered USB hub by Windows 7 while running in virtualization mode. -

Pen drive formatting issue..
hello
sir,
window is unable to complete format..
Pen drive is detecting but when i want to see it's property it shwo us 0 byte.......... I have tried low level format, diskpart, HP pen drive format tool but not success , HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool replys" Media is write protected. "
& i have a 4 gb HP pen drive which is not detecting in my laptop??Hello Mudsain,
If the pendrive is giving you a write protect warning, it might be fixed using USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II).
http://www.pny.com.tw/index.php?cls=2&mode=download
You may need to have 7-Zip installed to extract the .rar file. It is a free download. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Your going to extract "RecoverTool_V2.00.42_M1223 8CE.exe" from the downloaded file and run.
You should now be able to reformat the pendrive. IF this does not help, then the pendrive is most likey damaged and nothing more can be done.
If it is new, I would take it back to the store for a replacement or contact HP Support for more options.

Best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?
best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?
format flash drive in Exfat for transferring files between Mac and Pc.
FORMAT TYPES
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
Maximum file size: 4GB.
Maximum volume size: 2TB
You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64)
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details. -
Hi,
Ive recently seen the light & gone completely Mac
I have a question though..........
I have noticed that my pen drives/memory cards & hard drives are filling up even when
I delete everything on them they still show as full & cant take anymore files.
If I right click there isnt an option to format as in windows (sorry for swearing)
I,m sure somebody knows what I,m doing wrong BUT..... if I do format it on
my mac will I still be able to use it on a pc?
Many thanks,
JeffThe reason they show full while appearing empty may be because you are not emptying your Trash. If you just drag stuff to the Trash from the drive, the file will no longer appear on the drive in Finder, but the file is still there (taking up the space) until you empty the Trash. This is true, even if you disconnect the drive and later connect it. Once you empty the Trash, the space used by those files will be freed up.
On a Mac, you reformat drives using Disk Utility. It is in the folder Applications/Utilities/. This is a very useful application, so you might want to add it to your Dock.
Anyways, connect the drive. Run Disk Utility. The drive should appear in the sidebar; select it. Go to the Erase tab. If you want to be able to use it on a PC or Mac, the only choice for Volume Format is +MS-DOS (FAT)+ (aka "FAT32"). The native Volume Format for Macs is +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ (aka "HFS+"), but Windows cannot use that format. Mac OS X can read and write to FAT32. -
I have Sony 4GB pen drive USM4GM, I formatted it on Win XP. whenever I try to access it, it asks to format again. when I click on the format buttom it says write protected. What is the solution for it
Hi devinderdalal.
Try performing all the steps mentioned below to troubleshoot the issue:
Open Start Menu > Run, type regedit and press Enter. This will open the registry editor.
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Double click the key "WriteProtect" in the right pane and set the value to 0.
In the Data Value Box, press OK.
Exit Registry, restart your computer and then re-connect your USB pen drive to your computer.

Pen drive not able to recognize "only" on my macbook pro osx 10.7.3
Hi Everyone,
I feel as i feel i have an unique problem and cant quite understand why. I have an early 2011 macbook pro 2.3 ghz i5 processor. I have recently bought an HP v-250 W 16GB pen drive. Its formated in FAT32 and works on every other PC and MAC except for mine. My compute is unable to recongnize it and it doesnt show up in Disk Utility either. Im not sure why this is the case. Can it be because of the software version at 10.7.3. Your feedback will be most helpful. thanksThat is quite strange, I did have a similar issue with Western Digital 1.5TB External HDD a while ago. It worked on other computers just fine but not on my Mac, one day it just stopped working all together.
I am not saying that its an issue with the pen drive though. Could be either or.
The only thing that I can think of trying is to start up in Safe Mode and see if it works. If not then you can at least rule out any applications causing problems.
Let me know how you go. I will have a bit of a look in to this for you as well... I'm curious... And a little confused myself -
[SOLVED] - USB Pen Drive Unreadable
I used gparted to create 3 Primary Partitins on my 2GB Kingston Pen Drive. After that I used the following command to change the label of one of the partitions:
mkfs.ext3 -L Grub2 /dec/sdb3
After this the pen drive ha become unreadable. It gets listed as /dev/sdb but the partitions do not. The errors given by various programs are listed below:

Re-reading the partition table ...
BLKRRPART: Input/output error
If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1)
to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1
(See fdisk(8).)
I tried rewriting the partition table using testdisk but was of no avail.
