With any USB flash drive it is possible to have a bad one.

Are you referencing the I-picture flash drive or one for art cam?

Bob, i am new at cnc, but i think i made the mistake of using the flash drive i was supplied by Oliver with my 1013 as the transfer drive between computer and cnc. so when i switch to a new flash driver everything worked fine. do you use a separate flash to transfer?

I still have and use the original flash drive but I have several others that are used as well. I put in a different one, format it and then I put the original in another usb port and transfer the files from it onto the formatted one.

I also clean up the new one by deleting some or all of the supplied images, the tutorial video, 1013 manual etc. I only leave I-Picture and images file. If you choose to delete the supplied images file, there is on on my original drive which is labeled as : SBSE___.QPF that one I have not deleted because it is a different type file than the images, don't know if it makes a difference but don't want to find out.

Thanks Bob, I get a bit frustrated, because I know what I want, just a lot to learn to get there. as long as yourself, greg, and the others are patience with the questions, i will get there, thanks again

Glad to help in any way, we were all there once as well, but had to stumble our way thru it ( was no forum at that time)

Yes I have ran into a couple that wont work with the machine but there is nothing wrong with the drive.
I use a 19 gig sandisk and just make a folder to put the gee files in on that drive to hide them.
I don't really save those gee code files since I don't keep a record of each cut any more now I go back to the original file .
Most code files were setup for whatever wood I was going to use at the time and may not be what I have to work with this time so I start over.

You should be able to use the flash that came with the machine to transfer files over. I have used it myself with no problems but believe it or not, I did hear from the factory that the supplied blue color USB flash drives were giving trouble and they suggested using a different one for transferring files.

I have a blue FD that came with the machine, and every since I bought a new FD, those issue are gone, thanks for the confirmation oliverman.
greg what do you mean when you say "code files setup for the wood you choose to use"

gee code or nc code that runs the machine, it's too confusing for me to go back and use a gee code file I made 6 months ago so I go to the original project file to make another.
