Usb what?? Flash drive?

 

[AlbertLionheart]

Guess its a flash drive with no partition on it or it is maybe FAT?

Is it a new usb drive? Or have you deleted everything off it, but not emptied the recycled bin?

Format it.

 

[God Of Mana]

Do a format
1)My computer
2)Right click the drive.
3)select format.

or look for hidden files.
1)Open any folder
2)Go to tools
3)Folder Options
4)Go to view tab
5)Set it on show all hidden files and folders.

ALL usb thumb drives come formatted FAT32 for a purpose:
to be usable on ALL SYSTEMS

 

[AlbertLionheart]

OK - so FAT structure is not important. But he cannot access the contents so he might as well format it to suit his OS. Thats a bugger if the next time he needs to read it from and old Win98 system.....

this article shows how to format a device in several filesystem types, including
fat32

A USB can be (re)formated for universal access via:

format ?: /fs:fat32​

or if you intend only to use it on your XP system

format ?: /fs:ntfs​

DO NOT USE THE /q flag!
