Problem in Saving data on an unwilling USB pen drive
At times the ‘0x80070052’ error message is displayed when you are trying to copy files to a pen drive. You
are unable to save the data. Strangely, data can still be read from the drive. The good news is that it is most likely that the stick is physically intact if the data on it can be read. The phenomenon described above can have various causes. It is possible that the root directory of the stick contains too many files. This can lead to problems if it has been formatted with the FAT file system. The first step is to delete objects or move them into a sub-folder. Better still, reformat the memory stick with the FAT32 file system. To do this, back up all your data on to your hard disk. Then, right-click the pen drive's entry in Windows Explorer and select the ‘Format’ from the context menu. Here, change the setting to ‘FAT32’ under ‘File system’, leave the
other options as they are, and click on ‘Start’. Confirm the warning that follows with ‘OK’. FAT32 can be read and written to by most operating systems without any problem. This is practical even when exchanging data with computers running Linux or Mac OS.
