Hello together,
I've got a USB flash stick (Acer 128MB) on Win XP SP2 (from CD, no update).
I was using the stick, then my PC crashed, I had to reset it.
After reboot, when accessing the flash stick, I got the message
"...protocol file not found..."
I tried several reboots and reformattings of the flash stick (right
click on the drive in workspace), without solving the problem, only the
error message vanished, and the flash stick didn't even appear in the
workspace although visible in the device manager.
Then I opened "system control -> computer maintenance/adminstration ->
data storage/mass storage -> data storage administration.
In the lower right subwindow I found the stick as "uninitialized" and
"unallocated".
I initialized the flash stick and then assigned a primary partition
(right click). It worked, but I now only have 118MB capacity instead of
128 MB.
How can I get back full capacity?
thanks in advance
