Win XPSP3 refuses to format USB stick.
ian field
formatting the USB stick by pulling it out and putting it straight back in
(without clicking eject) and typing Format/u H: in command line.
I was wondering if anyone knew why XP-SP3 was giving me all this aggravation
for no good reason?!
Format/U H: in command line was the last resort after trying *EVERYTHING*
else, and even that didn't work until I tried interrupting the USB mounted.
Meat Plow
Chalk it up to shitty code, half-assed mounting, whatever. I don't find
this surprising with any Windows product.

Type "diskmgmt.msc" to get to the disk control panel. Format it from there.

You have to format the Cee drive first, before you can format an H drive.
Silly n00b.

Nonsensism: inclusive of the epigram and the wisecrack, it is any kind of funny
nonsense in speaking form. Nonsensism includes all kinds of absurdity without
realistic logic and makes a general observation of absurd reference.

All the USB drivers, Mr. Formatted brain. *Everything* has drivers with

Holy shit. Jesus.
A USB port needs a driver, eh? A printer does NOT need a driver, eh?
You're fucking clueless beyond belief.

Ah I see now. You think that a parallel port printer such as say an HP
LJ4P doesn't need a driver to function properly? Better let HP know that
so they can take their driver page down; http://snipurl.com/19v7en.
Dan C
That's not the point, shit-fer-brains. A printer still needs a driver to
use it's features properly, or even to function at all.
Did you use a lot of drugs when you were young, or did your parents?

Seems most printers will 'function' just by 'simply' plugging them in.
Still needs drivers to make them work though.
