Don't want much, do you. I've no idea where you could get guys but perhaps you could check out the the personals in your local newspaper.

Or maybe you could walk around a dodgy part of town at 3am wearing only a ripped tutu. You're bound to get gang-raped sooner or later.

Good luck!

You think you have a virus on your usb drive - so you plug it into your friends computer.

Anyhow, your usb drive is probably fucked. They're priced to be practically disposable these days so buy a new 4gb one from play.com for ten quid ($89.20).

From a technical background? Surprisingly, my parents don't know much about usb drives so taught me nothing about them when I was growing up. I don't blame them for this, though, as usb drives were invented less than a decade ago.


I tell you what I definitely wouldn't do if I thought I had a virus on my computer - hook it up to a friends computer. That's just mental.

It's a shame your friend isn't from a technical background. He'd have told you to stop being an idiot and get the drive which you think is infected the fuck away from his PC.
 
Some USB drives come with stuff built in, U3 for example. Formatting does not remove that.

When you insert the drive it then places an icon in the system tray which allows you to do other things. Including but not limited to exploring the drive, removing it from the system etc. They also have the ability to password protect the drive built into the drive itself.

Yeah yeah. It's no good trying to make up for it now, dad.
It's too late, thanks to your non-technical ways, I've been ridiculed on the internets by a half-wit :dry:

^lol...anyways getting back to the point.

Try starting internet explorer and type the drive letter in. A friend had a similar problem and this always worked.

For example if the drive letter is 'E' type the following in the Address Bar:

E:\

I'm sure this will work.
