    Depending on the options, you must remove the re -installation of the operating system at this location . While it is still in progress , simply close and let others readers alone . Try resetting the computer to boot from disk instead of reader CD as before. If the stick is already used , it must now be detected in Windows. If you fail to make the OS re - install, then just continue following the installation instructions. However , never try to install the operating system on the USB disk.

    Before you spend your USB problems and try a few troubleshooting tips , all your saved files first, this task is something that should not be taken lightly . Although the formatting looks easy , it's a long process that must be done by someone who understands the application. If all else fails , take your warranty USB so you can repair from customer service.
