Corrupted playlist file on memory stick

[FabDJ]

I have a corrupted playlist file on my memory stick.

I tried to delete it but it won't let me saying "file is unreadable cannot delete"

Fucking Trend micro security failure again, no doubt.

I dont want to copy the memory stick to laptop without copyng the corrupted file and format the stick again and re paste, as with a 32gig stick half full, it will take me ages. I have relocated the file and buried it in another place on the stick for now.

Any recommendations?

reformat?

[DjDennis]

seems 32gb flash drives are a little unstable

only option is a re-format

cant tell you anything more!

unless you use 16 or 8gb flash

and keep the amount down thats stored on it!

[FabDJ]

Am reformatting god damm it

Thanks all

[DjDennis]

try and recover what you can if you cant - always keep a copy of whats on a drive in a seperate directory

eg:

d:/flashdrives

--------------------/32gb

----------------------/list

------------------------/(files below)

see where I'm getting at

or use a sync backup program

if you need a list let me know!

Thanks found a fix /scan for errors on the pewter for removable disc and all is well.

Hit the wrong music folder icon to delete and deleted the good file,had to back up again from source.

Always got three back ups in different locations.

ok good

So you say 32gig sticks are unstable?.

Got one on ebay from Honk Con for 17.00

It had on customs declaration 'TOY'

I think it is, cause it fails every time I use it Memory shows full but opening files says file empty. 50% of files dont work. but work next time but others dont work then.

Formatted the thing and reloaded about 4 times and scanned for errors, but still plays up.

yes there are a few fake type around like that one

you need to buy a more espensive one that is known well before you start seeing good value

these no named brands are crap (sorry to say)

transend are a good one

kingston are good

there are a few but they cost a lot more

for a 32gb your looking at say $80 or over for

anyway thats the reason why its always faulty

[FabDJ]

Sticking to known brands like SanDisk from now on.

Only reason Im still carring it around is cause it looks so sexy.

Dolce and Gabbana should start designing memory sticks cause they all look so dull.

Western digital is pretty well known too. but from what cupe said.. he has had two times 1 terrabyte drives die on him... so try asking him

[FabDJ]

Whats Astone like?

[DjDennis]

Astone is a good brand as well - its sold by 90% of the computer dealers so you should be safe..
