I have a Silicon Power flash disk, and I'm wondering why I can open its files properly on a TV, but in win7 or opensuse 12.3 I can't even see the list of its files or format it. When I try to do something with the flash disk in win7, "Computer" (former MyComputer) freezes. Is there any way to repair it?
Did you happen to format it specially for use with your TV? It could be possible that it has some sort of non-standard formatting. – Josh – 2013-09-05T04:33:36.767
@JoshR I didn't format it with TV .It cannot be that;since I cannot even format it with same TV (format fails) – Majid – 2013-09-05T04:36:56.337
If you don't care about losing the files on the drive you could try re-formatting it. Open Disk Management (Start>Run>"diskmgmt.msc"), right click on the device if it shows up in the list. Make sure you're selecting the correct disk and choose to format. – Josh – 2013-09-05T04:43:08.750
@JoshR I cannot do it ,disk management don't show my flash in list of disks – Majid – 2013-09-05T05:19:27.323
If you can try it in another computer that would help. Unfortunately if it's not showing up at all in disk management, I fear there might be something wrong with the thumb drive. – Josh – 2013-09-05T05:20:57.957

Try it on a linux livecd, that's always a good index of whether or not something is broken. – Wijagels – 2013-09-13T01:25:38.257

Please upload a screenshot from some partitioning utility that supports majority of file systems....I suggest free version of minitool partition wizard.. If it does not show up there, try to get a screenshot from GParted live... I want to see what exactly is in there.. – tumchaaditya – 2013-09-13T19:24:20.867
