"Windows Can't Complete the Format"
My grandma bought me a memory stick for my PSP like a year ago, but I didn't have to use it until now. My computer says I need to format it before using it but it keeps giving me an error saying it can't complete the format. After that it tells me to go to the Help Center and search "read-only files". So I decided to go and search read-only files. Almost automaticly I see "How to change a read-only file/folder" I click on that. After that it tells me to click "Properties", click the "General" tab, and check/uncheck the "Read-Only" box. I click Properties but I can't find the General tab! Somebody Help me!

Right-click your target folder
Click on properties General MUST be the default and first tab opened up. |
I doubt this has anything to do with read-only files. Windows help is notoriously dumb. Open up a command prompt (start, then type cmd) and enter the following (where $DRIVE is the letter assigned to your flash drive followed by a colon):
Code:
If you are still having problems, PM me and I will try to help. |
Or you could..y'now, format it in the PSP? :3

If for some reason that doesn't work, I'd look into 3rd Party Formatting software. From what I've seen, the default Windows Formatter isn't the best. twocows, that's a rather dangerous command to be suggesting if the user isn't totally sure of what they're doing =/ |
