Fix my memory stick please

April 1st, 2009 by Rof's

Do you ever had a tv or cooler repaired by an electrician? What if my memorystick is broken and windows is saying write protected enabled. BUT MY MEMORYSTICK DOESNOT HAVE A WRITE PROTECTED LOCK like some do. Like this, this, and this…  Windows is just saying you should throw away your memorystick and  support kingston, memorex, hp by buying a new one. BULLSHIT!…I was frustrated because my memorystick (kingston btw) was write protected in a mysterious way ( I think kingston put a expired date for all memorstick and/or hardrive they produce and if that time exceed the module crashed). If your having a similar problem with your memorystick, it gives you an error saying write protected enabled. Then I recommend you to use “repair your memorystick” ( I think only Fat32 reconizible = only memorstick). This tool can easily format you memorystick….Well I dnt know who the creator is or what site I downloaded it from. The tool does fix my memorystick indeed.  I will upload it here and you can use this version (stable probably) and fix your stick  and make it usable again. Download here v2.9.1.1

Note: if any one has a newer version  please update me

It is being used by another person or program

April 1st, 2009 by Rof's

One of the annoying window message is while safely remove a memorystick or external harddrive that windows gives you a popup with ” acces denied, cannot delete, used by another person or program, here has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use, The file is in use by another program or user, Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use”.

Unlocker is a handy tool to see what or who is in blocking your activity. You can easily see what program or situation is currently using that thing (memoystick, harddrive, folder, etc…). See image below.

There are similar tools out there and I’m not going to say unlocker is better or the best. But unlocker does the job that I expect. So,  many thanks to the creator for extending my memorystick life by  safely removing my memorystick much more easier.
