Hi there!
I hope someone could help me in this issue. I have a flash drive 8GB but after the 4GB, it starts to storage just trash. I scaned for viruses, I formatted it and still I have the same problem. This memory is generic with a ship samsung 316

Not sure if this is related, but FAT32 doesn't support files over 4GB.

very good point, are you 100% sure the filesystem on the USB pen is NTFS

Edit: if your OS is Win

It´s a good point Addis, the drive is FAT32 and I alreday formatted NTFS but it can not acepted. I open the drive and I found out that it has a 4GB Chip. I got scammed.
Thanks anyway!!
