    Maybe, there is something wrong with that particular USB stick.
    Did you try it on another computer, or a different stick on this computer?

    Hi

    What Windows version/s and Service Packs are you using?

    Do you get any errors when transfering files, if so what are they in full please?

    What are you formattting the USB drive too, Fat16, Fat32, NTFS, exFAT?

    Could try giving the HP USB tools app a go HERE

    Hi

    So to recap, you dont have any issues in transfering files too and from the USB stick, its just that they are corrupted when transfered to a new PC?

    Is it just Video and Pictures or are text and say application setup files corrupted too?

    Do they play ok on the original PC before copying to the USB Stick? if they do then what are the file types that are corrupting?

    In the end you may actually have a failed USB drive and if within warranty seek a replacement.


    The Windows versions in use maybe helpful so if you can answer that it may help (Windows 98, XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc, can find this from Start > Run and type winver and hit enter)?
