I have an Archos 70 IT with a 1Tb disk upgrade. I've previously managed to connect it to my PC via USB and transfer a load of music files. Now I am able to make the USB connection (it shows up as a drive in Explorer), but Windows doesn't recognise the format of the disk - a message pops up saying "you need to format the disk in drive I: before you can use it". The disk can be accessed fine from within the Archos.
I've tried rebooting but got the same thing.
Can anyone suggest anything?

I got same issue as you and found the solution as beneath process:
(1) double check your Hard Disk whether is already connected by partition software(such as "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" )?
(2)try to change letter in "partition" in case your hd did not have "partition letter"
Afterward your PC can recognize the format of disk
for your reference

Thanks for your recommendation. I installed MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition but it simply listed the Archos as a "bad disk", and didn't give me any option to assign a drive letter, or in fact to do anything else with it.
Does anyone else have any ideas??
I also seem to have a problem writing to the HDD from within the Archos O/S. When I use ED File Explorer to copy a file from my LAN to a Downloads folder on the HDD I get a "copy failed" error. I get the same error if I attempt to copy a music file from one location to another in the Music folder.
What partitiontype do you have?

How would I find out?
In Windows Explorer, select the drive and then rightclick Properties.
You should see FileSystem.
If it's NTFS, Android only has a Readonly driver.

The problem is that Windows does not recognise the format of the partition - it asks me whether I want to format it when I select it.
you can change the type in the archos.
go in the recoverymenu -> format system -> set storage filesystem and switch it to vfat.
Now windows can read the filefsystem and ur able to copy files ;-)

could someone help me I don't know what it is?
I had the same problem. I narrowed it down to the file size. Is the file more than 2GB? When copying two MKVs the difference between the two was that one was 2.2GB and the other, the one that worked, was 1.41GB.
Yes it is 8gb^^ full hd bluray rip I just read that it has a limitation for 4gb only? is that true? if yes is there a way I can change that?
Can't confirm a file size limit. Transfered an 8.73gb 1080p mkv file to my prime and it is a) on the primes internal storage and b) it plays flawlessly with dice player
Transfered mine using the usb cable and my pc is running win7 x64 professional.
thanks I tried it with a zip and that works 16gb but MKV doesn't work and I don't know why
what os are you using? are you transfering the files via usb or wifi? maybe someone with the same system specs as you can help you out

How did you try to transfer it and what did the error msg say?
Format your SD cards/USB sticks to exFat or NTFS, that should do the trick.
The problem is the partition table, Anything upto FAT32 cant go larger then 2gb I think.
I have the Asus eee Pad transformer Prime 64gb verion and windows 7 64bit.
Im triing to put the movie on the internal storage, I don't have a other sd card.
And I'm triing to load it over the Usb Cable
And the error is that it says well I have to translate it, it says that windows-explorer doesn't work anymore and needs to restart
Its a windows 7 thing. I've had the same problem trying to transfer large mkvs to my home server. Some things to try:
in windows explorer, go to tools, folder options, view tab, first checkbox says "Always show icons, never thumbnails", check it
some have had success changing the file extension to jpg...
others have had to uninstall divx

Using USB you only have the option to save it to the SD card. This would mean you would need to format as NTFS to not run into the FAT32 file limit.
I would transfer this via wifi if you can save it to your internal storage; however, if you plan on doing this a lot you should save yourself the trouble and just properly format the SD CARD to NTFS.

You can transfer files to the Internal Storage using USB. It would very very stupid if you can't.

Yes, but way more no. You are right, that it says sdcard on the prime. But that is just a case of really bad naming. When you go to the stock file manager on the prime you'll see that it distinguishes between "sdcard" and "removable" on the highest folder level. If you however access the "sdcard" folder you get to the internal storage.
As far as transfer speed goes nothing can beat the usb connection in my experience. My wifi (n standard) isn't even close to being as fast as the usb connection.
I had cm7 installed on my touchpad but decided to do a clean wipe of both android and web OS... so I used the ACMEuninstaller and web OS doctor to restore it.
But now when I connect my touchpad to my mac it says "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" and on windows it keeps asking me to format the drive. I am still able to use novacom and web OS doctor...
I have NO idea what I can do to fix this problem...
what would formatting the drive do to my touchpad? would it erase absolutely everything including the system files?
some one help me out!!
windows shouldn't even see the system partitions, so it only the sd mount it wants to format. BUT if u decide to format the sd card don't do it with windows.
USE CWM /mounts and storage/format SDcard
Now i'm not saying to format this is just a safer way if u have to.
Unreadable
I also had the same issue, from the same exact scenario. So I decided to formatted it as FAT32, then copied files over, dismounted, then unplugged. WebOS then said no files were recoverable, then formatted the partition itself. Subsequently it is readable from both my Mac and Windows box.
Got a 32gb sandisk card and did an erase after putting in my phone. When i connect to my computer, my pc tries to install drivers though. Guessing hidden partition or some such. Anyone get rid of the extra crud?
If your on Windows 7

On windows 7, open the SD card, click the organize tab on the upper left, select folder and search options, select the view tab, and select the show hidden files option. Should Work for you.
Assuming you're using Windows, go the the Disk Management and repartition it to your liking.
(The best way, IMO, to wipe the card is
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
in Linux. That writes zeros to the entire drive.)
How can you tell what format your MicroSD card is? I can't tell if im Fat32 or extFat. I don't want to take it out of the phone either.

Are you using Windows or Linux?
Either way (without removing the card):
- Windows:
1. Connect device via USB Cable to a computer.
2. When the computer recognizes the device (and your device's folder directory appears), right click on the MicroSD, and check "Properties".
-Linux:
1. Same as above, but you need to have your distro properly configured most of the time.
OR
You could search on the Market for an app that could tell you. I'm sure there has to be one. It might not be exclusively an app that tells you the format, but I am sure there are many tools that provide that information as a part of the app.

It's Windows 7
When I go to Properties on the MicroSD card it just says
File System: Generic hierarchical
So it's not showing the file type at all.

I have tried it, But it has left the USB Drive dead, Thanks any way, I think I will just get one.
It's not dead, the same happened to me but I have been able to fix it.
Follow the instructions from freelancer81 and then go to Disk Management (right click on This PC and choose Manage in the context menu, for Windows 10) and there you will have to create a New Simple Volume. The USB will be correctly recognized and formatted.
After doing the above recommendations, if you are Still unable to fix the USB, download EaseUS Partition Master and delete all partitions on the USB drive then click apply. Then create format the USB and click apply. I was able to fix mine that way.

Hi all, using a Samsung ativ pc pro xe700t1c-a04uk
dual boot: Windows 10 pro / android remix os 3.0
screen 11.6 full hd 1080p
cpu intel core i5-3317u quad core
ram 4gb
gpu intel hd 4000 (128mb dedicated)
hdd 256gb msata ssd
I run remix os 3.0 from a 64GB 544/MBs msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure.
Very fast system. Everything working including apps and games and all hardware (touchpen/touchscreen/gyro/accele/light/nfc/otg/gamepad/cam/mic/sound/gfx/etc).
Problem: Its not a major problem but the screen dimming or brightness control dosent work and thats the only problem.
The samsung ative pc pro xe700t1c is by far the most superior convertible laptop/tablet in the world!
Request to developers:
Can you please implement the sim function for internet and calling. Also can you please implement a gamepad configuration menu just like the keyboard config menu?
Thank you very much for all the good stuff remix team.

hi all i thought this turorial might help you guys....
This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)(DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 119,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.
use a partition manager to delete all 3 partitions in usb drive and create a new partition and format. simple way !
Try easeus Partion master.
Try Easeus partion master
google search Easeus partion master
1. download Easeus partition master free from official site or filehippo website
2. install and open easeus partion master
3. Insert Pendrive
4. there below hard disk you see 3 partition of pendrive
5. delete all partition by right clicking and going to delete partition option
6. Finally format the pendrive.
Best of luck

Its quite simple task by using "diskpart".
Step 1- Open disk part by typing "Diskpart" in search.
Step 2- Run it as administrator.
Step 3- Type "list disk"
Step 4- You can see you USB drive there as disk no. 1 or 2, I recommend you to insert only one USB drive at a time so that you may not get confused.
Step 5- You can identity your USB disk by its size like 15 GB etc.
Step 6- Type "select disk disk no."
Note that you should type only a no. for disk no. like in my case I type "select disk 1"
Step 7- Type "clean".
Step 8- Type " create part pri"
Step 9- Type "select part 1"
Step 10- Type "format fs=ntfs quick" for NTFS file system
Or " type "format fs=fat quick" for FAT file system
Step 11- After completing format you can make it acrive means bootable which is an option for that type "active"
Step 12- Type "exit" because everything is done.
Submit me request for omissions and hit like if it works. And also report me if there are any errors may be I forgot any command to mention.
Use Ease US Partition Master
I had the same problem.There is a very easy and fast way to fix that
Just download the free edition of Ease US Partition Master from the internet from it's official site
Then use the Partition Master and delete all the partitions from the USB stick ( I think they are 3).
Format the stick through Partition Master (FAT 32 is better)
That's it. Or alternatively you can delete the 2 partitions and then expand the first one till it reaches the original usb stick size in GB.
After formating the stick then you can retry installing Remix OS
Orrrr instead of installing unnecessary programs, sice you're already in diskpart...
> select disk #
> clean
> create partition primary
> select partition 1
> active
> format fs=[ntfs/fat32/etc...] label=RemixOS
Edit: Gah, Venjex beat me to it!
