Clear memory stick

The Elite X has faster read/write speeds (and is more expensive). Otherwise there is no functional difference.

If you have an HP mini like the 1010nr, you may have only an 8GB solid-state "drive" the solution is to: 1) plug in a usb drive to a side port for extra space; or, 2) BETTER - pull off the cover on the right side to access the hidden USB port and install a permanent large-capacity usb memory module, then replace the cover. This requires a small usb stick with little or no case (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PNY-Attache-Paris-16GB-16G-USB-Flash-Drive-Stick-Purple-/250804063654?pt=US_USB_Flash_Drives&hash=item3a65164da6) -REMOVE THE OUTER CASE FIRST.

try these sites they should provide you with success

Yes, and Perfectly too.

What you should do is,
depending on your operating system,
Right-Click on 'My Computer Icon', then select 'Manage'.

When you get to Computer Management page,

Click on Disk Management on left hand side,

This will display ALL the disks installed on your system, either partitioned or not partitioned, formatted or not formatted.

Then go to the ones that are hidden, not created, or not displayed, right-click on it, then you'll see different actions that you can perform.

Also, in some instances, what you just need to do when you get to this page is to assign a new, distinct, drive letter apart from the ones already in use on the system.

This will automatically bring out the hidden drives.

Hope I have helped you out.

Goodluck

Plug in the stick. wait for it to come up on the desktop then click on it once. (do not open it).
From the file menu select "Get Info"
In the panel that opens up you will see a row of coloured squares. Underneath is a checkbox marked "Locked"
Is it empty or ticked?
If it's ticked, untick and see what happens in disk utility. If it's not ticked that then would appear to be a problem with the stick.
For what it's worth, I did a google on this stick and found that there are numerous posts about it becoming read only on Vista, so it may well be a problem with the manufacturer.

FORMAT THE PNY then save

More then likely you have a defective thumbdrive,buy a new one and see if you still have the problem, you can all ways take it back if you still have the problem, Remember new ones can also be defective.

once it is erased of your pen drive it is erased for ever
(you dont want to format it it will erase your date)
