I just bought a new 16gb jumpdrive on ebay and I just connected it to a computer at school but everytime I create a folder in the jump drive it seems to either create or transfer some type of files into it. The files have some wierd U-U- name on them. When you try to delete it says unable to because of missing destination. the only way I can delete the fold is if I run "error-checking" which makes the folder into a unrecognizable file and allws me to delete.

Jump Drive information:
USB 2.0
File system:FAT32
Manufacturer: Standard Disk Drive
Driver version: 5.1.2535.0
Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Publisher
Driver provider: Microsoft

I don't know what to do, any suggestions?

It will most likely be a "U3" type which allows you to run your programs on a different PC without having to install them.
These work a little differently to standard jump/flash drives which are for basic use as file storage/transfer.

The U3 part of the jump drive is on a separate partition, and you'll know if it's a jump drive because when you plug it in to a PC
it's get's two drive-letters assigned to it (one of them is labelled as a cd-rom drive) instead of the usual one. Also the U3 "LaunchPad"
pops up.

If you find all this annoying and just want to use it like a standard flash-drive for file copying & transfer, you can remove the U3 partition
with the official removal utility from here: http://u3.com/uninstall/

After removing the U3 partition you may want to format the jump drive just for good measure. You can do that with Windows.
Right-click it's drive-letter-->Format.

If yours is not a U3 jump-drive, my apologies for wasting your time. Please continue the thread.

No that didn't work. Everytime I connect to a different computer all my files become corrupt and a new file replaces them all with 0 space used labled "U-U-" PLus does not allow you to erase unless I do the system error check in the property tools manu. This makes me erase all the files and all data is lost. Please help.
