    broken thumb drive???


    I had diskpart running "clean all" for a thumb drive. I accidentally restarted Windows and now my computer can't see the thumb drive. It's plugged in (disk 4 in the picture below) but says no media.

    It is weird. I can "open" it in Windows but when I try to drag a file to it, it says "device not found".

    As I'm typing this, I tried the thumb drive one more time and now it works. Should I toss the thumb drive or do you think it's good? I could just buy a new one (16GB) seeing how cheap they are.

    Just checked, they are $5 on newegg.com

Hi Everyone, I need your opinions on a purchase I'm planning to make soon. I'm in a bit of a fork as to what I'm going to get actually. A thumb drive would be more portable, so to speak rather than the portable HDD. An HDD would have way more space, however. I will mostly use this...
