How big are they, do you know? If the thumb drive is formatted as FAT instead of NTFS, there's a limit on file size.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Thanks, Dana. That will help, I think. I just have to look up how this thumb is formatted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think the maximum flie size on FAT 32 is 4 GB.

It is a FAT32. Hmmm. Now to get the other kind, too, I guess ...

You should be able to reformat it.

How frelled is my old laptop? It is stuck in update mode. The screen has said the "do not power down. Installing 1 of 31 updates" for over 8 HOURS!
It's about 5 year old laptop. Compaq single core guy running Win7 home premium. It's USB ports have become less responsive of late, and the processor just spikes with no apps running. I've done security scans, and it's come up clean. It's become rather frustrating.
So is this update thing a death nail in its coffin?

I had that happen with a cheap Acer laptop that I was updating to windows 8.1. It took about 25 hours for the first update, no joke.
