in MY COMPUTER, right click the drive the USB flash drive is in, find FORMAT, and choose QUICK FORMAT or just FORMAT. That will erase everything. BE SURE YOU DO NOT FORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE BY MISTAKE!

Just reformat it. Wipes out everything.

plug it in, go to "my computer" click on that drive....the usb one, NOT on the main drive! Just the one you're trying to format. Click on "format" and follow the directions. It might take 30 or 40 seconds.

NO... The USB ports are primarily disabled on pretty much all DVR boxes, (to avoid downloading shows and movies that are being recorded.) the only reason theyre even on the box is because other cable companies allow users access to that USB port only for firmware updates and changing settings to the box itself. It wont work like it would on you Blu-Ray player allowing you to watch movies that are installed on yout thumbdrive or external hard drive.

Hope this helps

Since Hewlett-Packard does not test or support third-party products, I do not have information on USB flash drive compatibility with a DVR. I recommend contacting your DVR manufacturer for more information.

I would think it would work. We have a 16GB iPod Nano and wanted to make a backup of the iTunes library. All the 8GB drives we own were not adequate and after researching all over, we bought this one (16GB) at Best Buy. There is 13 GB of data in the folder on the hard drive, and that all moved seamlessly to the 16GB flash drive. Had no problems sending the folder to the USB drive, and have formatted the flash a few times to re-send the data after making changes to the library. We also have a Zune, but it was smaller (8GB) and the data for that fit easily on the 8GB flash drives we have. The 8GB iPod we have also fits nicely on the 8GB flash. A great way to know you have your music if the device fails!

According to the manufacturer's website, the Zune does not have a USB port, so you will not be able to connect this flash drive. I recommend contacting the manufacturer for more information.

Any problems with copying files with long file names?

I have over a 1,000 work data-files (Microsoft Excel, Word, and Visio) on my work computer, embedded in about thirty main folders. I want to provide backup copies of my work files, and maintain these backup files in respective backup main folders. So, I would prefer to command the flash drive to copy all files, one main folder at a time, into a similarly-named backup main folder.

However, I've had problems with copying files with long file names. These long-named files, have caused problems with trying to copy clusters of files (within one main folder), if any files within the cluster of files has a long file name.

It would be labor-intensive, to shorten the file names, for those files that have long file names.

Does the HP 16GB flash drive have any copying issues for files (Excel, Word, Visio) with long file names?

I have had this work for me. Change the name temporarily. Then, if you have to transfer them, put them in zip files with short names. The problem with windows, is you sometimes have to fool it.

After extensive research, I have not found any issues with copying files with long files names to this flash drive.

However, I also have not found where this has been extensively tested, so I am unable to guarantee it will work correctly.

Many printers have a USB input on them now. This makes it easy to print from USB.

You can certainly encrypt any data saved on one of these. TrueCrypt comes to mind: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads

This flash drive does not come with a locking mechanism or password protection. This would be a third-party solution. Please remember that Hewlett-Packard does not test or support third-party products, so we cannot guarantee compatibility.

HP USB Flash Drives are strictly storage devices. They do not contain hardware or software for playing back music. I recommend consulting your vehicle's manuals to determine what the included USB port is for.

Figuring that an MP3 file is usually between 2 and 5 megs in size, and there are roughly 700 megs on a cd and 4 1/2 gigs on a dvd, then I would off hand guess...alot. 15 gigs x 100 songs (mp3) and assuming 100 songs per gigabite. 15 gigs is a huge amount of storage for songs and pictures. And I'm sure I'm under estimating.

The amount of songs that the HP 16GB USB Flash Drive (P-FD16GHP125-EF) will hold is dependent on the length of the songs and the file format that the songs are saved in.

On average, 16 GB of memory should hold around 4,000 songs.
