This cheap-quality FAT32 USB flash drive has 7.84GB capacity.
I have used the error-checking and tried reformatting it, but it still seems to corrupt a good share of files. Mp3 files and .txt files have survived, but .doc, .iso, jpeg got corrupted.
-> The corrupted files "cannot be found", cannot be read from the source file/disk, and cannot be immediately deleted (unless I use the error checking tool). It seems that corruption takes steps:
1. Store file, take drive out (yes I 'safely remove hardware')
2. Put drive in, file has been corrupted, name is usually changed Cannot delete. Take drive out.
3. Put drive in. Corrupted files/folders change into files of a few kilobytes. Deletable.
-> The flash drive came with no software that I could see, even when showing hidden files. Is it possible to install new software that a manufacturer would have put on it?
-> I want to use on both windows and mac.
