Software Sunday EP14: Make Fake Flash Media Usable With BOOTICE

[@buzzboy1000]

Thank you, Sir. This was very useful. Turns out that my '256GB' card was 15.3. I set it to 14 just to be on the safe side.

[@frobertopereira]

Pretty usefull. One complement to this tutorial. Although I execute the Process PBR as explained here, the message which I can´t write on it remains. I had to Execute the re-partition chosing USB-HDD mode(Single Partition) first.

[@NivexGameplays]

Tried the last thing to solve the: acess denied and still didnt work :C heelp !

[@digitalmatrixio]

The fact there is a high chance of even a single bit being lost while using this method means this should be a no-go for anyone! Period.

[@ej_tech]

I will still use my "fake storage drive" to carry install files around (like .exe and stuff). If it gets corrupted, then whatever.

[@kenjlee]

Thanks but the hidden partition is not working 100%. When plugged in to another Windows 10 recognized all hidden partitions and prompted multiple windows asking to format them all. Even if I don't they still occupy 3 other drive letters making it difficult to locate which one is the actual SD card. Also card is having trouble getting detected by Windows 10 Tablets, Amazon Fire HD, and maybe other devices I didn't test.

[@darth1000blue]

Excellent tutorial! I took my Amazon 256 gig to the actual 59 gig.

[@bobsagget823]

video starts at 1:20 tl;dr this is just repartitioning the drive which is moronic the real answer is you need to identify the micro sd card controller and reprogram the firmware which this video doesn't even get close to doin

[@gusdzikrillah9229]

Yes... But finding a microcontroller from a MicroSD is more difficult than finding a microcontroller from a Flashdisk, because ChipGenius will read the microcontroller from the Card Reader.

[@acreuna]

Is it possible to permanently switch to genuine value? In other words, make a better process than partitioning.

[@bandkid3282]

Hey I know this is older but my USB makes 4 separate partitions and says theybare hidden but theybare not hidden

[@benu5365]

Omg we have the same colours in our logo!

[@leonwangls]

i did bootice , got the volume reduce, put sd card into action, require format. then the same fake volume comes back again after format.

[@sarahmano6286]

sir the other particition did not hide its showing as different drive but i follow your instruction

[@ticket573]

I recently bought a 16gb SD card, the only problem is the stamp was fading but it's actually 16gb and I can't use it as internal storage because when I do I can't download apps

[@thehappyascii]

If you're on linux you can use GPARTED to rewrite it's partition table to fix it. Note to use ms-dos Partition tables instead of GPT or else you wont be able to use it in windows 8 and below.

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Gparted should also work in theory :) . I have never tested that method though.

[@SirStarGazer00]

Could you explain a little more please? I have a 320 gb hdd that's now showing 2tb.

[@youngminlee4036]

Could you review some usb flash drives please?

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Maybe. Did you have some in mind?

[@thehappyascii]

Its the same process.

[@U.S.A.]

If it says: WRITE FILE FAILED ACCESS DENIED ,then open CMD and write in the following command lines: diskpart list disk then figure out which is the fake data storage's number what you want to downsize from the listed disks and then type in the following command line: select disk 1 (the number is the fake data storage's number so maybe it will be different in your case) list disk ( if you want to make sure if it's selected, the selected disk will be marked with *, this step is not necessary) clean Make sure that you've selected the right disk, and that there is no data on the storage device because this command will delete everything from the disk, it will even delete the partition from it (this is why this method works while formatting the drive is not)(you don't have to write anything after the word "clean", just simply type in clean and hit enter) After that follow the steps shown in this video.

[@CloroxBleachOfficial]

THANK YOU!!!! I bought a "128GB microSD card" It was actually a 32 gb but yeah thanks i was trying to look for a video or article like this and i finally found one.

[@papi-but-cracks9040]

You were actually lucky if it turned out to be 32. Most of these fakes are just 4-15 GB's

[@GustavoPerez-nt6gs]

same happened to me, mine said 128GB and its only 32gb

[@UGS4697]

Best place to buy the SanDisk extreme pro? The real one at a cheap price?

[@rafiquezulfadhil6248]

Tried, mine got 0kbyte is ok???

[@usernamereg]

Thanks bought 256 GB samsung Select, Ran H2test came out to be only 15.9 GB. Though got refund from seller without return so used this to settle it with 16gb(actual 14.6Gb) Flash Card. I guess thats my compensation.:)

[@SobbleEntertainment]

BTW I used AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard, that's my clean way to change their partition capacities.

[@totalrobot4408]

So there is always a few MB bad? What if the files written on these few MB? Then is it screwed? How can we have no MB errors?

[@HaeDreyK]

Can I do this on mac?

[@zdd6175]

I dont know what I did wrong here, but I am no longer able to read any sd card after using bootice

[@shebaham]

My SD card isn't showing at all anywhere

[@reginald56000]

the BOOTICE link is broken T_T

[@-fazik-3713]

Still works! But you need to remove drive letters too in order to fully hide them.

[@MCKoolperson9]

Or you could just download some more storage

[@EvianDurden]

Hell yeah

[@filip__]

I have a 64gb flash drive and i copied some files on it and i came other day and it just wouldnt mount it only shows in device manager and diskpart says its no media 0b

[@renebea9]

Write file failed! The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

[@ddm6812]

[@vipinjobt5190]

I have a samsung 64gb memory card It's not working sine I brought online .is there anything else is can do

[@SHA3BOL1]

The other fake drives are still appear even after I hide them that's annoying

[@FroztiProductions]

Help! h2test said 7.7gb okay. Is that the old measurement or the new measurement? Is it rounded or exact?

[@getrekt3983]

thanks for this! i noticed most netac cards are as advertised. what good brands did you find? the netac have packaging that u can tell is legit

[@anitaweasel]

I would ask for return or give negative review

[@mandi7]

H2testw shows that my "128 GB" flash stick has "0 KByte OK (0 sectors)" Does that mean it's so faked that there's actually no single MB for data?

[@mandi7]

OOps, the program checked that on that disk there's about 470 MB worth of memory That's surely a lot. At lest I could format it as you've shown and use it somehow. Thank you!

[@ichigozaraki955]

IT SAYS WRITE FILE FAILED ACCESS DENIED.ANY HELP?

[@U.S.A.]

I've found the solution, and I wrote it in a comment (on windows load every comment, ctrl+f and search for my name).

[@mpaj1900]

I was able to use 30GB of a fake micro SD. Thanks a ton.

[@eir5749]

I hope I am too , I ordered fake SD card with 375 php, but I can only use 14 gig

[@mshihirimohd6511]

Mine refused

[@notcheeto7506]

The Bootice download comes with 2 identical exe files. One of them is a Virus, name IDP.HEUR.26, is malicious software that aims at exposing your system to further malware injection. In my case, the bottom one was the virus. Don't click on it, scan the two of them. Before and after extracting.

[@crikhard]

Braxton?

[@SteveAB4EL]

Thank you so much for this episode! Love the approach. :^)

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Thanks!

[@macksmoothly]

Great videos! Keep up the good work!

[@areebshoaib7887]

Loved it! helped me save my sandisk cruzr blade! Thanks

[@ACMCMaata]

tnx for the info. now my drive is 91 mb only from 128gb fake flash drive. How disgusting!

[@Randomtechreviews2929]

Mine is 113mb from 128gb

[@TheSailorKing]

it's BOOT ICE and the best program is f3 running on linux

[@anitaweasel]

Bootice is so useful in many ways I agree

[@DoshiPhD]

Thank you very much. Subscribed!

[@trecklerzzz]

The pc cannot detect the sd card. Hahaha help I bought a fake one and my phone can still detect it.

[@g4merz768]

i did this and my computer doesn't recognize the card anymore, thank you

[@erolismailovski1344]

Nice toronto wallpaper ahaha I'm from toronto so I noticed it right away

[@matrixate]

Thanks for posting this fix.

[@TheJman5520]

nice toronto wall paper

[@kapchonka5128]

Noice video mate. Only thing it is little bit late.

[@MrCougar214]

There is no fixing the fake one's i bought. The only actual usable space on them is 100MB. That's pretty damn pathetic!

[@damonabets3779]

I like your videos a lot

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Thanks for watching :)

[@damonabets3779]

Hey I have a question for you all of your websites are running HP COMPAQ DC7800P yes or no

[@hidde1626]

I use SDFormatter for that, much simpler.

[@alynicholls3230]

ikr, and its a samsung approved program.

[@crystalscan2002]

good vidoe braxton thanks...

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Thanks for watching!

[@Nictisevi]

Really helpful!

[@jonathandemetrio4924]

Can I be that one lucky subscriber? BTW i now know how to use that program now thank man.

[@keitaro105]

Thank you

[@ramiabouzahra]

Maybe it's pronounced boot ice?

[@ScrapTechTips]

Intro to long

[@graphosxp]

Your windows 7 is ugly. Please use Classic Shell and make that start menu shine ;)

[@stevenhollingsworth3249]

graphosxp If he can't customize it why would the Microsoft mothership build that option into the operating system.

[@martinocko9]

but if its fake you get ebay refound so its basicly free

[@CZARNYEU]

Interesting Tutorial Brother. Regards from Europe from my Channel Bro's

[@SirStarGazer00]

It's pronounced "Boot Eyes" as in "Ice Cube"

[@blastshieldaddiction]

Gparted. Spinrite. If you can't repair it at least make the available space useable with that software the device is garbage.

[@aggourinzavon5440]

Great!!!

[@jadchi]

Thaaaanks!!

[@FluffyPuppyKasey]

You should upgrade to Windows 10, as well as OBS

[@bellemy5390]

I prefer 7 instead of 10.

[@youngminlee4036]

First

[@75_oranges]

youngmin Lee omg that's sooooo cool man 👌👌👌👌👌
