Insert the Memory Stick in as you usually would do, then in My Computer right click on the drive and then select Properties.
You should see an entry called 'File System:'
This should say 'FAT 32', if it doesn't you will need to reformat the stick to be in the FAT 32 file format.
If you do have to format it to the correct one, the process will remove the contents of the stick. If you have anything on it already, you will need to back that up first before you commence.0 -

Easy to sort out, all you need to do is:
1). Copy anything you wish to keep on the stick to your computer
2). In My Computer, select the disk, right click and then select Format
3). In the drop down box for File System select FAT32
4). Ignore everything else and hit Start.
It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to complete. Afterwards, you shouldn't experience any issues copying to the stick.0 -
Thanks very much for all your help anewhope I will try what you suggest and follow your instructions Thank You :T0
