And when I go through them on the player - they are still showing the play button with a black square over it and if I try to play them blue screen with a black rectangle. I had originall thought when I read this I would partition the drive (which I may not have mentioned is 16GB) into 8 drives but it seems you cannot partition usb drives without a lot of fooling around. Does anyone have any other suggestions on this?
If you have the one in this discussion then you screwed it up doing a partition.
Here is how to fix it: Use the disk tool and set the encrypted partition to 6201mb that should leave you with 1962mb left. Then do a format with the same tool, then do a windows format. You should now be left with a single drive of 1.962gb. If you set the encrypted partition to anything bigger than 6201 you will get a disk error. I tried many, many different sizes, thats the only size that worked.
