Hi 1123sun,

Copy your files off the card. Then Format the card and select FAT32 file system. After the format is done try the card again and see if you can copy more files to it.

There are many duplicate Pen drives usually 32, 64 GB.... They are very cheap price without warranty.

Next time buy a pen drive only from a shop like Computer Peripheral vendor where you will find the Pen Dive more expensive but with warranty. They are real one and their capacity are 2, 4 or 8Gb

Try to right click your pen drive then copy and paste it on your My Documents folder. When done, follow these steps:
1. Go to start menu
2. Click Run and type cmd
==A command prompt shows.==
3. Type cd\
4. Type format x:
5. Press Enter key
6. When done type exit

Note: Copy all the files you have transferred on your My Documents folder and paste files again to your pen drive. You can now do whatever you want on your pen drive.

in the market there are fake kingston pen drives, check when you are plugging the pen drive it is detecting by the kingston or usb disk, if in the name of usb disk then its the fake

some times i am un able to copy to my pendrive. the message im gettin is I/O error

Hi,

I would venture that your pen drive has a problem with its File Allocation Table. Being a 256 leads me to think that it has been in service for quite some time. Perhaps a full format is necessary. May I recommend that you use HP Drive Key Boot Utility available here. Of course formatting would erase all and everything inside the pen drive.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
