Can't write to flashdrive?
A friend may have removed her USB flash drive without the proper procedure, just pulled it out. A) If you haven't written to the flash drive for, say, 10 minutes, and you know all your writes concluded 10 minutes ago, do you really have to use that procedure? I can't remember, and her know-it-all son says No. B) She can read from the drive but not write to it. What's the next step? Running chkdsk? C) She has to keep her client records for years to come. Should she also burn CD's to hold them. Should she print them out? Interestingly, she bought a second USB flash drive and it wouldnt' work either. It didn't display the slightest message when she plugged it in. The guy at Office Depot where she bought it said her OS was old (she has XP SP2, but she didnt' remember that.) and he said it couldn't find the drivers! Turns out the drive was too fat to go into one USB slot, but it worked fine in the other! She's retiring in two weeks and she has to take all her personal and client files off the Board of Education laptop, so she'll have a copy. And she has to remove them all so whoever sees the computer next won't see them. The files are records of her psychological sessions with public school students. |
