    Hope this is the right place to ask the Question. I bought a 16g memory stick to save my pics, music, programs, etc as i'm getting a new PC in the next few days. After loading all my songs and photo's which took up up about 12g of space on the stick. I took the stick out then put it back in later to get some more stuff on it but cant see anything on it but when i check the properties its says there is only 4g of free space left and 12g has been used.Where has everything gone that i put on it thought it was supposed to show on a page when you put it back in. Can you help thank you.

    hi :)
    plug it in
    go "my computer"
    under "devices with removable storage" (usually the last letter will be the stick)
    right click and select open. it should then show content

    Sounds like you bought it from ebay or newegg.

    If you do a full format on it, it will probably show up as a 4GB.
