Why do I always get a "Memory Storage" message when I paste files onto the Flash memory disk even when the total capacity of files do not exceed the capacity of the EZ drive?
This problem exists when the Flash memory is formatted by FAT16 format. With FAT16 format, users who try to copy and paste more that 255 files at one time may receive an error message. When this situation comes up, users can format the Flash disk with the FAT32 format to correct this problem. |

What can I do if I cannot get the Flash disk to work on Win ME?
First of all, please use the Windows Update. Secondly, install the USB port driver of the motherboard. |

I have a 512MB Flash disk, but how come I can only see 498MB capacity usable at the most?
Windows systems use the binary system; therefore, 1MB = 1024KB. The Flash memory disk is decimal system based, which means 1MB = 1000KB. In other words, we have to check the capacity from byte numbers instead of MB number. |
