Why can't I copy several files (more than 130 files) to my USB Flash Drive or JetFlash 2A?

Offtek.co.uk |
The default file system of JetFlash is "FAT16". If you wish to copy more than 130 files at a time, use your computer to reformat your JetFlash as "FAT32". For a single-card device or Pen Drive, no driver is needed. However, both types of devices need USB support for 1.3.x or above. If using Mac OS 8.6, you can check the level of USB support by selecting USB Support in Extensions in the System Folder and Get Info (in the File menu).

In particular, LiIons should not be run all the way down to prevent "memory effect". First, they don't have a memory effect, and second, running them down tends to reduce their capacity. If the laptop does not need the battery it should be run to about 40% charge and stored in a cool place.
