brokentusk16 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 Whenever I plug a USB drive into my laptop, it says it needs to format it. I click OK, but then it says it the formatting couldn't be completed. I've used these drives on work computer fine. Is the problem my laptop?
The Electrifyer Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 Nah, I don't think so. The same thing happens to my USB drive as well. Do you get an option that says continue without formatting? Just select that.

And when I do format, it says it can't complete the formatting.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 what operating system are you using
brokentusk16 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 what operating system are you using Vista. not sure if it's related but I can't use my cd-rom either. I called Toshiba and they said I probably need to reinstall my operating system.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 make sure you're running this on an administrator account. if the operating system is a problem, that'd be an easy solution (to explain, anyway), but i've seen errors like that pop up when a user has UAC on or is using a limited account. try that, and if not, it sounds like you have bigger issues anyways. good luck.
