If there is anything on the drive move it to your desk top. Then... Go to your START menu (bottom left corner) > RIGHT click on Computer> this will pull up a box that says "Computer Management" at the top. Go to DISK MANAGEMENT, on the left, under the Storage tab, It will then pull up all drives connected to your computer. Choose your Thumb/Flash drive, RIGHT click on it (make sure to right click on the RIGHT side of the description.) Once you right click a menu will pop up, click FORMAT> then follow directions. Summary: This will erase everything on the thubdrive and will allow full capacity to the drive, (which you probably had anyway) but at least you can try this out and see if it works.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Do you have very large files? If I remember correctly FAT-formatted drives have a limit of 4 GB for each file. You might have encountered a file that was too large. If so you can try reformatting it to NTFS.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Was it one file or several files? If you're using FAT32 the maximum transfer size will be something like 3.7GB or so. So may try to format to NTFS. I think there's 10% chance that this advise will help, sorry it's not higher.
