The capacity of the stick must be larger than ~3 GB. On the stick will be three partitions, 1 GB size each. It is simple written to the partition table that there are this partitions, it doesn't matter whether this is possible or not (e.g. the stick has only a capacity of 2 GB). This is only my experience. Last time my USB stick broke down I first tried to replace it by a stick with a capacity of 2 GB only. The probe wrote some data to the stick (the LED of the stick was blinking) but then the probe hang in a boot loop. After plugging the USB stick into my pc fdisk showed me that there are this three partitions. Am 01.12.2015 um 11:34 schrieb Marty Strong:
I have a dead probe that I've tried both waiting 10 minutes with the USB stick out and placing a fresh USB stick in, but it still sits on what looks like running from internal flash.
Is there another method anybody knows that can bring this old probe back to life?
