Subject: RE: Tech: lost hard drive ? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Mar 05 - 02:00 PM This weekend I think I'll be reading some of those articles and contemplating the "fix." It's a busy week, and these kinds of things aren't done easily on the fly. But I'd rather be out digging up my veggie garden. :-/ |
Subject: RE: Tech: lost hard drive ? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Jun 09 - 11:48 AM I'll bring this thread back because in this instance I'm trying to get rid of a partition on a thumb drive. It's one that has it's own software and launches it every time it is plugged in. I've removed a lot of this stuff, but am down to having two partitions on this 4 gig drive and I want to merge them and remove the read-only zip file that the Cruzer folks put in place. I get a message saying I can't delete it and Partition Magic doesn't notice this drive when I start it up. It sees my internal and two external hard drives. I can't find a way to bring this thumb drive to it's attention, but I'd like to use a program that will just crunch the Cruzer files then merge the partitions. Anyone else have to dumb down an uppity thumb drive? What worked? Thanks! SRS |
