If I was a software designer, I would create a software that could reformat the size of a USB drive. Hey, does anyone know of a software that can reformat the size of a USB drive or a hardware drive?
Thanks
What do you mean reformat the size? The size is the size. I don't think you can add size.
oh okay, cause i thought i could increase the size. Oh well.
No, I think that is hardware, not software. you can free up space, if there is stuff on the drive, but I don't think you can add space.
or you could compress, which would equals more room on the hard drive.
Yes, but that isn't necessarily creating more space.
and doesn't that slow the machine down or have things got better since the days of the drivespace utillity?
It does slow the machine down considerably, especially if you have many programs. If you don't have much on your machine, compression wouldn't do too much in the way of freeing space, and it wouldn't really slow up your machine much either.
Well, considering you can get a terabyte usb hard drive for $230 I really would havedifficulty seeing why you'd need more space, even the usb key drives now come in 8 and 16gb configurations. 500gb drives can store some 5 to 800 movies, depending on format and quality, over a hundred movies in full dvd quality, that's more than enough, you'd think, for quite a while.
