Disabling smartware do i get my 700mb back? Does any one know if disabling it returns my hostage held storage capacity back?

I cannot comment on the WD software disabling this if it gives you what you are talking about. But if you search your favorite site you'll find links to the HP USB Disk Storage Format tool so you can wipe out the entire drive. If I check properties in Windows, it says my drive when blank now is 465GB (500,079,493,120 bytes). I figure that is about as close to 500GB you are going to get.

Hi! I must say you did a great job!!! Thank you very very much! It was so frustrating to see unworking memory. People from Leapfrog did nothing to solve the problem. Thanks again for your kind help regarding SD recognition problem.Another problem is how to remove files. The synchronisation doesn't works. Did you try it?I would appreciate very match your help.Cheers

hi, I think it is the storage it self. I do not have it any more. but you can easily check the spec.

My system has the same amount of space "available", it could be that it had some issues in the past before it was serviced to be able to sell again. But, probably more likely, is that the system is setting aside a certain amount for itself (cache, recovery, etc... can be a bit extensive), could be where that 27 gigs went. I wouldn't be super concerned about it. For $60 it's a pretty good deal. Most of what I saw before this listing, were around $100.

You cant, the drive is a cheap scam. The chip in it tells your computer it has 256gb of storage but in reality it probably has less than 1gb. This scam is successful because most people wont return this and just figure it a loss.

I'm using a 64 GB card in mine right now and have not run into any issues . . . yet. The OS is reporting 59.45 GB available.

When selected in "My Computer" it only shows 7.96 GB free. Apparently you'll need to utilize some sort of file compression or leave something out.

Hi, that is what I did with my clickfree. I backed everything up in Vista and upgraded to win 8 and then restored my files. However, while I got all folders and files back, 2/3 of the files had a size of 0 bytes which means that they were lost. I still have not been able to restore those files so 2/3 of my files were permanently lost. I did have some files backed up elsewhere but I still have not recovered from that and because of that I no longer use Clickfree. I had many conversations with their technical staff and they did not know what happened in my situation and eventually refused to return my calls. I don't know if this was unique to me or a systemic problem but I don't want to be the one to figure that out. Use with extreme caution and I would back up my files with some other way such as another hard drive and if Clickfree doesn't work you haven't lost everything. Earl

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

Yes. During the update I think it asked me if I want to use external storage space. Works great.

Don't buy either, the software easily becomes defective, which halts communication for backup or retrieval, and is hard disk resident thereby rendering the whole system dysfunctional. If you could independently download the resident software through your computer this problem would be fixed, but you can't as of now.

I haven't had that experience, but I am having trouble with the 64 gig memory. I have windows 8 and Office 365 installed and I am out of storage space. Get wierd freezes and messages pretty often now. No way to upgrade the storage either, as far as I know.

Sorry Rissa, not really sure on that. I just know 64GB is huge, probly bigger storage than any of us ever need, ha. I HaVe just sold this though & will be removing it. Thanks for contact tho, cheers:)

I think if I were doing this, I would not transfer your factory reset backup from the 32 to the 8 GB thumb drive. I would just redo it cold turkey onto the 8GB from the OS. I might even be more cautious and keep both of them,...just in case of doomsday.

If you are running the default windows install, it has another partition of about 24GB for recovery and swap and things like that, so that's your 104GB. The rest of the 35GB I assume is all the files that windows needs to work, all the applications and overhead. Don't forget there is a microsd slot, that's another 64GB for $50.

hello mattew ,it will be deleted by itself,Please dont' worry .if you want to backup ,you need to take the SD card out .

Guy - Thank you for your response. Is it possible that it was the size (64G) as opposed to it being an SDHC? I read that it will only support up to 32G. Also I believe it needs to be formatted to FAT, but I could be wrong. It seems somewhat pointless if it only works with SD cards without the High Capacity as almost all of them are SDHC these days.
