What is the difference between flash drive and hard-drive?
There are significant differences between a standard hard drive and flash memory. A hard drive is a fairly heavy palm-sized device composed of several spinning platters and a roving head that reads data that has been magnetically imprinted on the platters. Flash memory refers to a memory chip about the size of a postage stamp, or smaller. The memory chip is solid-state, or has no moving parts and is therefore less likely to fail. It is virtually weightless, retains data without a power supply, is faster than a hard drive, does not generate significant heat, and requires little power. This is excellent news for extending the life of laptop batteries, reducing their weight, and eliminating fan noise from systems.
How do you remove write protection from a photo?
it is very easy, simply take the SD card out of the camera, and you should see a little yellow slider on the side. if the card is write protected, you need only slide the yellow slider in the opposite direction.
How do you disable USB ports in a computer?
There are five ways of blocking USB ports completely:
1. Block physically by using a USB Port Blocker such as available from LINDY Connection Perfection, or by improvising.
2. Block from registry in Windows
3. Block using GPEDIT.MSC if you are using Windows Professional versions
4. Block from BIOS
5. Block using 3rd party software
The first four methods above will completely block your USB ports and you won't even be able to use them for devices you may need. So, it is better to use a software solution which can allow your USB drives but block others and also allows you to use devices like printers and mouse. I evaluated a lot of USB blocking software but the best was uHook Personal. You can block all kinds of removable storage devices, password protect any kind of removable storage devices, set policies for authorized and unauthorized devices and can even monitor what files were copied on allowed devices too.
Other products available are usbnotify, usbmon, etc.
Answer:
In normal home environments, you can either block the USB ports from the BIOS, cover the ports, disable the drivers in Windows, or you can edit the Windows registry to block the use of USB.
However in corporate environments, you can setup endpoint security software to give and deny permissions to groups of users to safely allow the use of USB ports.
You can disable or block the USB port by downloading and installing free software like NetWrix USB Blocker. It can be used on local computer also, but you will need to enter the domain name as workgroup in order to block the USB ports on a local computer which is not connected to any network.
Block using 3rd party software
AccessPatrol is a software that will allow you to control the USB / External devices access of all the computers on your network from a central console.
NetWrix USB blocker is a free utility which lets you block any USB ports on one or more computer on your LAN network. It lets you apply a centralized USB blocking to prevent the virus spreading though pen drives, removable drives and other USB portable devices.
This tool can is the best easy to use tool for system admins which need to block all the USB ports on the network as a part to the security group policy on the network. It uses group policy so you cannot use this tool on some of the versions of windows like Windows XP Home and Windows Home Premium.
USB Lock RP and ST provide real time administrative control over all portable memory devices connected to a PC within your network. The Control may be placed on any PC within your network or at server level. Security is at machine level.
How do you turn write protection of a sd card?
SD (Secure Digital) card readers go into 'write-protect' mode if there is a notch cut into the upper-left edge of the card. This is similar to the write-protect cutout on floppy disks, and audio or video tape.
Many SD cards provide reversible write-protection by means of a pre-cut notch, and a small sliding tab: Sliding the tab downwards (toward the position marked 'lock') exposesthe notch and activates write-protection. Conversely, sliding the tab upwards covers the notch, which deactivates write-protection.
But sometimes, even though set to the 'unlock' position, the sliding tab doesn't protrude enough to deactivate write-protection. In this case, placing a few layers of scotch tape over the tab can thicken it enough to allow writing to the SD card. Note: Care must be taken to ensure the gold contacts on the card aren't blocked by the tape!
Other cards that don't have a switch like this may use the default settings (configured by the device that it came with) to disable writing to the disk. Note: these other card types are probably set to be write protected by the device software that came with them (such as a digital camera and the accompanying software would figure that it is the only interface that will write to your memory card).
Virtually *all* USB devices that have onboard storage capacity will in raw form be seen by the computer as an added hard drive. You can check for this by going into My Computer or Explore (on IBM based pc's). If you can get to a file/folder view of the memory card you are asking about, try and set the (top level) folder properties and/or file properties to *not* be hidden or read-only. More information regarding file permissions can be clarified by researching file attributes.
How many pages will fit a 16gb flash?

What is a removable flash memory device?
A removable storage media is a device that can be used to store data but does not necessarily have to be permanently attached to the computer. Examples of removable storage media include flash disk, diskettes, and CD.
How many pictures in a 256MB SD card?
The correct answer to this question is, "It all depends." Every camera resolution saves photographs of a particular size, and depending on your camera's resolution you can calculate the image size. As an example, a 4 megapixel camera, saves a 300 kilobyte file. So you calculate the capacity of your memory card as (1024x256)/300 = 800 images 1024 kilobytes make 1MB. 1024 multiplied by 256 gives you the capacity of your memory card in kilobytes. Divide that, by the size of your photograph, to arrive at the number of pictures your memory card can store. In my 12 megapixel Nikon D300 camera, I get jpeg images that are about 2.5mb, which in kilobytes workes out to about 2560kilobytes.
This in turn means that a 256 mb card can hold (1024x256)/2560= 102 photographs or so...

Why were flash drives invented?
Look around. You probably dont see very many floppy disks anymore, do you? All of the new computers are being made without them. Flash drives are like floppy disks, only sturdier, more compact, and they have a LOT more space on them. They plug into a USB port, which 98% of computers have.
The main reasons a technology becomes popular:
1. Increased/increasing storage capability
2. Decreasing cost
3. Compatibility with other [widespread] technologies
and maybe 4. portability
Click on the icon of the USB drive.
Press Command I
A window will open. You can see the present name of the drive.
Select the name and change it to what you want. There may be a requirement for a simple name, so try to keep it short and with no special characters. Spaces are allowed.
You can also paste an image to be used as the icon in this pane.
Find an image for the icon. Click on it and press Command I. You will see a little image in the upper left corner. Click it until there is a blue edge around the little image. Press Command C.
