Files and directories on Prusa supplied USB stick no longer shown under Print menu.  

RE: Files and directories on Prusa supplied USB stick no longer shown under Print menu.

I have backup copies of any files I put on the Prusa USB stick that came with the Mini+ so I tried formatting it Fat32 with Windows format. At the end of the format, Windows gave the error message, "Windows was unable to complete the format." After it failing a second time I opened up a Command prompt in Windows and ran format from there with, "format e: /fs: fat32" where e: is the drive letter assigned to the USB drive. Format successfully completed. I populated the USB drive with the gcode files I'm currently interested in and inserted it into the Mini+. The Mini+ was able to see the directories and files again.

Yeah, Mine did that suddenly as well. When I inserted it back into my computer, it said that I *had* to reformat it to use it. This was weird since I had just loaded files to it minutes before. 

Anyways, I confirm the reformat worked to get it working again.

I threw the Prusa supplied USB stick away yesterday, but not before keeping the keyring. Since my last post I connected the Prusa USB drive to my PC and proceeded to delete some of the gcode files since I printed them on the Mini+. However, some of the files that were supposed to be deleted were still visible on the Prusa stick. That was enough weird behavior for me! And since I had a couple 64GB Patriot USB drives not being used, I formatted one with FAT32 using the rufus-3.14 format utility. Have fun 3d Making!

When you threw them in the trash or recycle bin, did you empty it?

When I was in Iraq, Soldiers would forget to do that in the Internet Cafes and you would not want to know what we found on those public computers trash cans and recycling bins.
