Hello all, I have a problem with my 16 GB flash drive (samsung).
I am using windows xp and trying to transfer 13 gigs worth of files to the drive. It will always transfer the folders, but it wont always transfer the files in the folders. For example, I have 144 folders with 2k files, however after transfering I will have 144 files with about 400-500 files. If I go to properties for the drive, it will ttell me I am using 13 gigs but if I highligh all the folders and properties there, it tell sme only 2 gigs. Whats going on? I have tried using a backup software but I had the same problem. Some folders were empty after transferring. There was one time when it went and did them all, but when I went to another comp and put it in, most all were empty again. Any idea what is causing this? The drive is new and it can hold large amounts. I have tried backing up 3 movies for a total of 14 gigs and these were fine. I am using windows vista home. Thanks!
Edit:
Also want to add that if i manuall add the folders that were empty, 90% of the time they will transfer over just fine..so any help woul dbe appreciated!
