They are, but you can reformat them, sometimes to a different file
system. Right-click on them in (Windows) Explorer, select format, and
you should see a filesystem pulldown.

(Whether this is the solution to your problem, I don't know; it sounds
plausible that perhaps some BIOSes might not be able to see some file
systems.)

You may be correct, however after reading
the instructions for XP it says to type in
Explorer. I use Firefox will it still work
if I follow the instruction?

I think you are confusing Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer. When you type
"explorer" into the "Open" box, it starts Windows Explorer, a file management program
similar to "My Computer". Firefox and Internet Explorer are web browsers.

I appreciate everyone advice but you have me going in
circles. Remember, I'm the one who has to try each of
these suggestions out and report back and try to make
sense of it all.

That's why I've concentrated my discussions with Paul
to make things easier and Paul has been with me from
the start.

Thanks,

Select "Command Prompt", type "Explorer" and press "Enter".

Another way to find Command Prompt, is to type cmd into
the "Search Programs and Files" box at the bottom. And
if you ever need to run the entire command prompt session
elevated as administrator, you can right-click on the "cmd" found
from such a search, and select "Run as Administrator" from
the context menu.

Right-click on the found "cmd" in that picture, and
you can select Run As Administrator as shown here.

Running elevated isn't always required, but it's good
to know that option is there when you need it (or,
someone suggests it).

OK, my suggestion is, to start a fresh thread.

And give a status update, as to what you're trying
to do, what your symptoms are, what isn't working
and so on.

When you post in a public forum you will get public responses.
It's not your choice to make.

I tried to do this but when I right click on
CMD.exe it doesn't give the option to run as
administrator. I found the regedit and right
clicked on it but it doesn't have the 'run as'
option.

Robert

Hello Paul,

Ok I'll do that, please look for it.

Thanks to you and everyone who has
tried to help I appreciate it.

One thing I read, says that a "limited user" account
does not have the "Run as Administrator" option. But normally,
your account would be a member of Administrator group,
so that probably isn't it.

This tutorial is full of ideas. You could try Option 5,
and elevate an application using the Compatibility settings.
Yes, it's for Windows 8, but some of the ideas should work
in Windows 7 too.

Actually, Option 5 is the same, in the sevenforums tutorial.

Try holding down the shift key before right-clicking the file.

We show you how with

Computer Management


Just insert it and type format? I thought
these devices were already formatted for use.

No not always now days

The ones I've gotten lately contain a program which starts to run as
soon as I insert it. That is really aggravating. I dont want that
software. After fighting to stop the installation, I just open
Partition Magic, and reformat them. That gets rid of that annoying
software. I believe some are also formatted for Mac.
