    Is windows 10 creating protocolls about this one? Is there any way for me to see when an USB stick got stuck into my PC / got removed? I need help because I highly suspect someone stole the data that was on my USB stick. I cant confront the person unless I have evidence he stole them.

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    How to see when USB sticks got plugged into my PC?

    Chkdsk shows errors after formatting the usb stick

    In order to reproduce the problem, I am doing the following steps:

    • I put a text file with a single line of text on the usb file.
    • I plug in a USB stick to a PC and in the explorer window I go to the usb stick drive.
    • I double-click on the text file and open it in notepad.
    • I close the notepad.
    • I the explorer I go to the one level up and I click the right button on the USB drive and choose the properties->format.
    • I formatted the disk with default proposed parameters (FAT32).

    The disk is empty after formatting. At the command line prompt window, I type the chkdsk and the letter of the USB drive and I am receiving information that errors have been found (Convert lost chains to files (y/n)?).

    I checked it with various usb sticks and different systems (Windows 7, 8, 10) and I got the same results.
