The test script will accept a TEST.MP3, TEST.MP4 or TEST.AVI file as the source file, but you may need to actually play them to check they are not corrupt.Ģ. and puts 100 copies of the test picture in each folder.ġ. It makes folders named \TESTDIR1, \TESTDIR2, etc. If you don't want to format your memory device, you can use this test, but be warned that if the device is a fake, then the test (which only copies files) can cause all your other files to be corrupted and lost!īt filling a drive with videos or large photographs, we can quickly 'see' if the files are corrupt by simply viewing them afterwards. You can use RMPrepUSB to format it as FAT32 again (but it will still be faulty!). By using FAT32, the thieves can avoid you detecting that the device is a fake until you have filled up the 'real' memory and by then you will have given them good feedback on eBay! That is why most fake USB drives are formatted as FAT32 instead of NTFS!
Also Windows will not let you format it as FAT32 if it is over 32GB in size.Ī FAT32 file system keeps it directory, file entries and files at the bottom of memory and fills memory from the bottom upwards. If your device is fake, you may not be able to format it as NTFS. If large files are written to an NTFS volume, the data will be written to sectors that are past the 3GB point on the drive (which may not exist!). The NTFS file system writes it's 'directory' at about the 3GB point on a drive and also performs extensive checks at other points on the drive. The reason it used to work when you first received it, is usually because it was originally formatted as FAT32. The most common reason for failure to reformat is that you are trying to format it as an NTFS volume. It does not do anything ' special' to the device. You may find that your memory device 'worked' before you used FFT, but now you cannot reformat it.įFT only reads and writes the normal, standard sectors on your memory device. Help!
