OT: Kingston Data 100 flash 128G.

Hell list;
   I bought two of the above to use in this:
http://www.procare.com.tw/idd35.asp?prod_id=137
Which ic a network Bittorent appliance.

"eShare lets you do 24/7 non-stop sharing while freeing up your computer for other purposes."

One I left in the package the other I pkugged into my F11 system.
As root "fdisk -l" shows:

Disk /dev/sdc: 134.2 GB, 134217728000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 16317 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x2c6b7369

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1   ?      120513      235786   925929529+  68  Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdc2   ?       82801      116350   269488144   79  Unknown
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdc3   ?       33551      120595   699181456   53  OnTrack DM6 Aux3
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdc4   ?       86812       86813       10668+  49  Unknown
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order


So I deleted all the partitions and make an ext3 filesystem on it.
When I re-plugged it in I got "bad superblock"
I then tried ext2, same result.
XFS worked but the filenames would scramble.
NTFS format sat at 0% for an hour.

Ok so I took the other one from its package and did a dd:

[root at localhost ~]# dd if=/dev/sdd of=/dev/sdc
dd: reading `/dev/sdd': Input/output error
133856+0 records in
133856+0 records out
68534272 bytes (69 MB) copied, 966.375 s, 70.9 kB/s

Now the drive is seen as fat32 when plugged in and works.

So what is going on?
Why only 69 MB copied?

Is there any way to get this to work?
Lots of webpages (youtube) use special chars " ! ? etc.
Fat32 barfs on them.

I knew about U3 on flash drives, I did not know about compression.
