Hi guys!
Can someone help me with my problem.

I bought an 8gb generic USB flash drive called "MY FLASH" on ebay.
It was working fine until I couldn't erase the folders in it.
I had the brilliant idea to format it, worst decision of my life.
I couldn't get on it anymore or format it again until the guy who sold it to me , send me a format software, it worked but, now it's only a 32mb drive.
I've tried at least 4 softwares but still the same.
FAT, FAT32 or NTFS will only change a few available mb but it's stuck on 32mb.

Hi,

I am a new convert to portableapps and have to say that I think it's fantastic!

Having recently wiped by drive due to it getting a virus, I'm looking to do the two following things:-

1) Is it possible to have the drive automaticaly scan for viruses/spyware etc when new data is put onto it?

I had the clamAV installed, but think that as I placed some data directly into a folder which I think existed outside of the portableapps partition, it missed it, I'd like to it to do an auto scan of both partitions of any data placed/modified.

I was very comfortable with my 512 MB USB with around 100 MB public area and the remaining 400 MB partition locked using the 'software key' provided with the thumbdrive. But last day when I tried to open the drive in my computer, an error message came that 'there is no drive in the port'.
I could see it there in 'My Computer',but the capacity was shown as zero ( used space-o, free space ) in its properties .

Interesting read and something you may want to add to the press page John.

Can anybody point me toward some good, fast USB keychain flash drives?

I'm currently using a really fast Samsung 1GB unit that works great, but when I tried to move over to a 2GB Lexar Firefly, I found that Firefox was unbearably slow. So slow, in fact, that the drive is basically useless for this purpose.

Unfortunately, there's no real way to compare most drives through online shopping, since they're all advertised as "high-speed USB 2.0". But we all know some are faster than others, right?

Look at http://www.xyplorer.com/free.php

I'm not asking to do it portable... i'm only telling that now it have a free version fully functional, no limitations, personaly I love this app cause it have file association integrated.

Hello, I have a Problem with the design of portable apps. When I install it on a stick or my local hard drive, it looks like this . (wait at least 10seconds!)

I have an nvidia GeForce 7650GS with the latest display driver and WinXP professional.
Does anybody know, why the layout is messy?

I did a search first REALLY!

If I want to move the Portable apps suite that I setup already on one card to another card do I just copy the entire contents and it will work or i need to reinstall it all on the new card?

Thank you!
