lior , plug your diskonkey to the computer, Right Click on My Computer and select Manage.

Next, go to Disk Management, and Right Click on the diskonkey drive. Then select Format.

hi
i try to do according to the guide
but the mp3 disk tool not recognize the capacity of the diskonkey memory and i cant move the slider to the right

what i can do ?

thanks

lior , the guide is only for nano-clones with Actions chipset.

Your diskonkey is a normal USB data drive, so you need to use other USB formatting tools.

Try the steps i mentioned in my previous post. If it does not work, download HP Format Tool from the downloads section and use it to format.

Re: fake diskonkey
 

hi
i try any format and its not working even HP format tool

lior , i'm not sure what a diskonkey is as i don't own one. But from my understanding it should be a normal USB data drive. So you'll need to search for some other formatting tool on the internet.

lior,

Do you have a photo of your diskonkey?
I thought it would act like a USB memory stick as well and formatting it would be as simple as right clicking it and choosing "Format" from Windows Explorer.

When you say " try any format and its not working even HP format tool" - What's the error message you are getting?

hi,
i dont have error messege the problem is that windows reconize 32G
even i format it,and i cant transfer files over 4GB and the files i tranfered didnt work good ,in my PC i can see movie file or picture but in the diskonkey i cant see movie file or picture

i dont know what the Chinese do to this diskonkey

i hope that possible to fix it
i dont care that i get less size memory even 1 or 2 giga.
just i want its work good
thanks

lior , i don't have any idea what your diskonkey would be like.

I'll suggest that you contact your seller and get the required formatting tool.

lior, try reading this thread http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic17341.html

jctoad , the method mentioned in the thread link was the same i advised lior to do, but seems like it still could not format.

Does anyone know what a diskonkey is?

A fancy name for an usb memory stick, disk-on-key, used by Intuix. I got one a couple of weeks ago from someone that wanted me to search drivers for it for her win98 install. The HP format tool worked okay with it on win2000 and winXP.
LIOR, maybe Partition Magic (a program) can fix it, download some trial or full, and give that a go. It can do things windows refuses to do.

Re: fake diskonkey
 

lattesurf, When lior first started talking about the problem in another thread, I didn't know what Diskonkey was either. I was surprised to find out that it made PC World's The 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years list at #9. However, I don't think their list was perfect, but it was interesting to read.

I also had suggested the HP tool. The Killdisk might be worth a try. If you go through page after page of that thread I posted a link to and nothing works, lior may just have to face the fact that it is broken.

Ok, a little researching on the net tells me that the DiskOnKey is a portable "harddrive". So this probably explains why lior is able to play videos from the computer, but fails to play from the DiskOnKey due to codec.

But since it works like a "harddrive", it is puzzling why windows disk management does not work.

Definitely try Que's suggestion of Partition Magic. Great software, might just solve your problem.

Re: fake diskonkey
 

I don't think that it is actually a hard drive. They just called it that probably because the term flash drive hadn't been coined yet.

From diskonkey.com :
I have problems getting Partition Magic to see usb drives, so I didn't suggest it.

Look at http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtrouble_e.html the last section "Format an USB drive"

I think I suggested in the other thread to try fdisk. Boot to a Win98 startup disk. Then you can run fdisk.
If you can get DOS to see the diskonkey, it might work.

Here is a Low-Level format tool that may help.

For remove the hack in a Disk on Key you can use the test disk See this post to remove the partition table and the use the HP usb format tool to format to the real capacity you cant get it in the download section

Hello everybody, i am get in a trouble, just when i want get to sleep my neighbor ask me to help with his USB memory, she is a great friend of my wife so i can't get out of troubles:

the USB Memory is a "SONY VAIO 4GB" but when i connect Windows recognice it as a 128 GB :shock: drive i did use TESTDISK to remove all partitions and write a new MBR, then use killdisk to wipe all disk but the geometry of disk still show 128 GB so any partition i try to make is 128 GB long.

any idea??

Are you shure your reader can handle 4 gig cards, looks like it reads the size-identifier chip of the memory wrong? Just guessing.

Re: fake diskonkey
 

Nop, the device is not a Card Reader is a USB Stick. but now i use the WipeHDDisk and now i have a USB device recogniced in the Device Manager as Generic USB Flash Drive USB Device, and a Storage Volume named Generic volume. in the Disk Management there is a Disk named "Removable" with "No Media" Label then even though there is a device there is no disk then i can't create partition or something.

impeeza , in disk management, right click on the drive and chose format. Then format it to a normal usb thumbdrive.

If this does not work, you might want to try using Partition Magic to do the job.

Re: fake diskonkey
 

Hello, thanks for answer, but no possible neigther because windows recognice a device but no disks "!no media" then no more left. :roll:
