Vista - unrecognized path command prompt, and cant mspformat memory stick

08-27-2007

i really dont know what else to try.
I simply want to format a memory stick using mspformat, but when i create
the batch file the prompt pops up and tells me to hit y/n. i hit yes, the
window immediately closes.. ok, lets try command prompt...
'this volume is in use by another application....'
ok, how do i determine what vista is running on my memory stick?

next, i try to use the command prompt to go directly to the batch file i
created.
but it cant recognize the path.
the file is in c:\users\home\desktop....blah blah
but the default is c:\users\home>desktop... how do i change the > to the \?

ive been googling for nearly 3 days now.
