Hi guys i've been using a 128mb memory stick for ages (over a year) but the last week or so i havnt been able to save anything on to it. It says there's not any room left on it??. But i've wiped every file from it!

Do i have to buy a new one or can i fix it ?

Some have a slider on the card which write-protects it (similar to a floppy disc)

I don't know the K750 menu so don't know where the option to format is but it can't be hard to find

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Checking file system on H:
The type of the file system is FAT.

The volume is dirty.
Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)? Yes
124977152 bytes in 1 recovered files.
Windows has made corrections to the file system.

129695744 bytes total disk space.
0 bytes in 1 hidden files.
98304 bytes in 6 folders.
128647168 bytes in 2 files.
950272 bytes available on disk.

16384 bytes in each allocation unit.
7916 total allocation units on disk.
58 allocation units available on disk.

Sorry, for some reason I thought u had a K750. Must have been another thread....

Anyway, it seems u may have formatted it on a PC somehow. Put it in the P9 & go to Control Panel > Other > Format Disk
