Memory stick

Someone gave me a 32 gig memory stick but E-com 1.2 can't format it or read it. Is there a trick to this?
Thanks

Hi marcbryant
It needs to be made into a Volume before eCS (or OS/2) can do anything with it - and a filesystem that eCS can read ie fat32, hpfs or jfs.
Have a read of
http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0606H/feature_2.html
for some helpful info about usb drives - this FAQ is also included in the Help for USBcfg

Have you tried assigning a drive letter to it (via LVM)? If the stick has no LVM info, then you can't read it.
Afterwards, you need to know which file system the media is formatted (assuming it has one partition only). If it's FAT32 or NTFS, then you'll need to load the corresponding IFS driver in config.sys in order to be able to access it. So, basically you need LVM info for OS/2 to recognize your media, and the IFS driver to let OS/2 read and write to it (without forgetting USB drivers, too...).
Sorry if I said something obvious to you, but you didn't give us so much details about your case...
Best luck!

Thanks for the info. When I insert it. it is assigned drive h:. When I do a dir command I get "no volume name, serial number XXXXX. Drive not formatted correctly". So I am thinking it comes preformated fat32. Funny thing is I have a 2 gig stick that works fine.

I've got this kind of error in the past and it was resolved after use of dfsee format (fat32 with 4k)
