Every Thursday evening I attend a photography group. Sometimes this involves entering photographs for different events. I am having trouble with my usb stick, Kingston DataTraveler 100 g3 64gb. I am okay down loading the images onto the usb from my mac, os sierra version 10.12.3 but the do not appear on the groups laptop, windows 10. I have tried formatting it a number of times and comprimised on a EXFAT choice with a partition. However this is quite frustrating as I can see both partitions on my mac but only one on a pc. The pc partition also shows up greenlines! There are none on the mac side.

All I want to do is to download images and occassionally AV's (audio visuals) from my mac onto the usb stick and for the laptop at the photography group to read/show them, does anyone know how to do this?

I do this all the time (also on Thursday). You have to use Disk Utility on your Mac to format the drive as (I believe the title is) MS-DOS FAT now under Sierra. No partitions necessary - just make sure there is nothing on the flash drive that you might need as it will be erased. Macs can read and write to that format as can Windows machines. If you format it with the standard Mac OS Extended a Windows machine will not even see the drive.

In general any FAT format should work on both a PC and a Mac as I understand it (not from personal experience for from others) - and again in general if you select photos in Photos and export them (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder then drat that folder to a FAT formatted USB stick you should be able to use those photos on either a Mac or a PC if you know how to use the PC

I have formatted it in ms-dos fat and the pictures appear on both mac and pc, for a moment though it had a hazard sign saying it couldn't be done so I closed it and started again. It works so thank you.

I am having issues when I need to transfer files that are larger than 4GB from my Macbook to a Windows PC. Then you are not able to use the FAT format. Is there a solution for this? I can't seem to be able to format in NTFS using Disk Utility.

I too am having this issue. Mac can format drives to FAT32 but Windows 10 OS does not seem to be able to read FAT formatted disks. I have tried two different Windows 10 laptops and they both do not recognize the FAT USB disk and says that it needs to be formatted.

That is stange because I never had an issue. Perhaps because I am running Windows 10 on an iMac under Bootcamp? Also I was using iCloud Drive recently to transfer files back and forth. I have an extra USB drive that was formatted by Drive Manager as FAT (MSDOS) and I will try it again when I get back home.

I got home and had a chance to re-boot my iMac into Windows 10 and Windows 10 had no issues seeing, reading or writing to a USB drive that I had previously formatted on the Mac OS side using Disk Utility and selecting FAT (MSDOS). Windows Explorer saw it as FAT 32.

As stated in NOT-OD-10-042, the error correction window (the time allowed after the initial successful submission to Grants.gov by the due date to correct errors/warnings subsequently identified by the eRA system) has been TEMPORARILY extended to five business days for all electronic competing applications intended for due dates on and between January 25 and May 7, 2010.

This notice clarifies that applicants submitting competing paper-based PHS 398 applications will also receive a five business day correction window for the inadvertent use of inappropriate forms or page limits on applications intended for due dates on and between January 25 and May 7, 2010. The correction window will begin when NIH staff contacts the PD/PI via email (whether or not the PD/PI acknowledges receipt of the email).

The institution is expected to enforce that application changes made within the window are restricted to those necessary to address errors or warnings. NIH may reject any application that includes additional changes.

NOT-OD-09-149 stated that The Approach sub-section will include both Preliminary Studies for New Applications and Progress Report for Renewal/Revision Applications. However, in the SF 424 (R&R) and PHS 398 application instructions, the section on Preliminary Studies for New Applications and Progress Report for Renewal/Revision Applications is prefaced with the following statement: As applicable, also include the following information as part of the Research Strategy, keeping within the three sections listed above: Significance, Innovation, and Approach.

This notice clarifies that applicants should use their discretion to place the Preliminary Studies or the Progress Report anywhere within the Research Strategy (and within specified specified page limits). As a reminder, for the Progress Report for Renewal/Revision Applications, the list of publications, patents, and other printed materials should be included in the Progress Report Publication List and not as part of the Progress Report within the Research Strategy.

For basic disk operations on Windows systems, administrators can use diskpart, a command-line utility that remains useful for many different drive-related jobs more than 20 years after it was released.

Microsoft included the free disk management tool in Windows starting in 1999 with the Windows 2000 operating system. Diskpart scans for newly added disks, but it can also create, delete and resize drive partitions, and assign or reassign drive letters. Diskpart also works with drive volumes, virtual hard disks and removable media such as USB flash drives.

Microsoft continues to develop diskpart, and the latest version of the utility features 38 commands. To use diskpart, you list the objects, such as disks or partitions, and then select the object to change it.

Diskpart use requires a basic understanding of Windows disk terminology. A basic disk is a storage device, such as hard drives, solid-state drives and USB flash drives, which you format with a Windows file system.

You should be careful when using diskpart because there is no undo function if you select the wrong object. Also, once a command is entered, even a destructive one, diskpart does not ask for confirmation before it runs. For example, if you perform an errant diskpart delete partition operation, you must use another utility, such as third-party disk management program, to recover the data or use a backup image to restore the drive.

Using diskpart to partition your disk can help increase the I/O performance of hard disks newly added to a RAID array. The documentation for many server applications, such as Exchange Server, recommends using diskpart to create the primary or extended partitions. You can use a primary partition as the system partition; you can only use an extended partition for additional logical drive assignments.

For this and all following commands, you need to open the command prompt before you run diskpart. Type cmd from the run command window from the Windows search box or the run command dialog box that you open with the Windows+R key combination.

When it comes to adding space to a partition or volume, this method is superior to configuring two disks. Dynamic disk extensions only concatenate the newly added space, meaning they merely add the disk space to the end of the original partition without restriping the data.

Concatenation isolates performance within each partition and does not offer fault tolerance when the partition is configured in a RAID array. Diskpart restripes your existing data. This is beneficial when the partition is set up in a RAID array, because the existing partition data spreads across all the drives in the array, rather than just adding new space to the end, like the Disk Management utility.

The delete command in diskpart removes dynamic disks, partitions, volumes and shadow copies. When you have multiple volumes on the disk or an unwanted partition, such as a recovery partition, this command will remove them and return them to unallocated space.

When you have an entire disk to wipe clean, you can use the diskpart clean command to convert all the stored data into unallocated space. This operation deletes all data on the disk by writing zeros on each disk sector. Diskpart also removes all partition and volume information from the selected drive.

For maintenance work that requires a bootable USB flash drive, you can use diskpart to format the partition and set up the file system on the removable drive. Administrators can also use diskpart in both the Windows Preinstallation Environment and Windows Recovery Environment to correct disk problems or set up the machine for deployment.

With the diskpart /s switch, administrators can run scripts to automate tasks associated with setting up Windows machines, such as configuring the disks for multiple systems, adding a recovery partition or wiping all data from a disk to return it to a factory state.

Sample code from the Microsoft site gives examples of how to develop a text-based script file administrators can call from diskpart and run automatically. IT workers can run several diskpart scripts, but Microsoft recommends building in a delay of 15 seconds after a script runs to prevent issues.
