Tiercel 6,986 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks, I was going to say the stick is not mine it's the granddaughters and if I messed that up there would be nothing right. Would I still have to reformat the stick to save to it? TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Click > start > computer Pull out the usb memory stick and see which device disappears Put it back in and make a note of the drive letter.... and let me know, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Cool you will need to re-format it Make sure you copy off the contents dont bother with the Ubuntu download, just delete that if its on there If you right click on E: select format Once the popup box comes... click the drop down for File Format and select NTFS... then just select fast format Quote Link to post Share on other sites
