I type a paper using a flash drive on my notebook and then I transfer it to another computer and I get a bunch of symbols. The same thing happens when I use a CD-R|||1st thing is to be sure that you are using the same program to open your paper as you did to write it (if you used word, open with word etc..)
next, be sure that the computer you are transferring to has the font that you used while making your paper.
If a computer doesn't have the font it will respond with the hieroglyphics you are seeing.|||I used to have the same problem. Apparently, the two computers have different encodings. That means that what one computer thinks is an "R", the other computer might think is something like "%". Try saving your stuff as text only. That normally works for me. If not, you might have to do a find %26amp; replace for all the symbols.|||are you sure you stopped the device first before unpluging it ? its possible that you have a corrupt file.|||First off, type the text you want in either notepad or word and send it to a "zip file before transferring it" to your flash drive. There may be differences in the settings between the two PC's. Make sure that the file is being typed and opened with the same program, whether it is notepad or word or some other word processing program.
Always compress it to a zip file before transfer.
**Dont try to type anything directly to text into the flash drive folder. That wont work. It must be saved first**
Just plug your USB flash drive into the USB port of your computer or other USB-equipped device and drag the files you want to take with you into the folder that appears on your screen. Your files are instantly transferred to your USB flash drive. To transfer the items on your USB flash drive onto another computer, simply plug your USB flash drive into the computer that you want the files transferred to, open the folder that appears on your screen, and drag the desired files onto the computer's desktop.
