|
sooooooooooo for a long time now ive been transfering files from my xp to my vista system i use for djing. There havent been any issues on this system till i put the drive in my buddies vista system now the flash drive wont work on my xp system anymore but it works fine on my vista system...
now that seems odd but at work the same thing is happening. I have killed 6 2gig drives. It sounds so stupid but i put something on it from an xp system went to my vista system got the file off and deleted it from the flash drive. Went back to the xp system i just used the drive it and it doesnt work anymore!!
wtf ...i looked online but i only found a couple others it seems to be happening to. Its so annoying now i have to burn cds to get my music on my vista system.
If anyone can help at all that would be great. I formatted all of them and they all boot on my vista system but not on any xp system in the house and we have four of those i tried them on... its incredibly weird!! _________________

does it show up in Disk Manager? It may be a GPT/MBR issue _________________

That's another issue I've never run into. I am always giving my flash drives to people on both XP and Vista.
If you find a solution, please let us know. Save others time if they run into it |
