Windows 10: Windows 10 - Enormous JPG File Size after USB Transfer

I wanted to clean up some space on my Galaxy S9+ and transferred my photos via USB to my Lenovo Legion, operating Windows 10 Home. I didn't pay attention while the transfer was on going, but then I noticed that the file sizes are wrong and that I can not open any of the photos. Sadly it was a CTRL + X type of transfer and I have no other way of accessing those photos. I tried various techniques that I read online, regarding fixing this but none have worked for me. Tried opening the photos with Photoshop, didn't help either.Tried using a back up tool to access my phone, it didn't work.I read th

Cable to transfer files

OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.

 

Update to increase the maximum transfer size of USB storage devices in Windows 7...

This is an Microsoft Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 update that may improve performance of USB transfers. Now they do say, "for some":

How? Well per Microsoft:

Now, you do need to read the Hotfix article, here > An update to increase the maximum transfer size of USB storage devices in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

Now, after you apply this hotfix, you will need to do some registry editing.
So, back up your registry before proceeding. And, also, you do this at your own risk; as always... anything can go wrong at anytime, even in the most perfect circumstances.

This registry edit is, also, covered in the hotfix:

After you install this update, to increase the maximum transfer size of USB storage devices, follow these steps:
‪1.‬Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
‪2.‬Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
‪3.‬HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbstor\VVVV PPPP
‪4.‬Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORDValue.
‪5.‬Type MaximumTransferLength, and then press Enter.
‪6.‬Click Edit, and then click Modify.
‪7.‬In the Value data box, type a value to specify the maximum transfer size between 64KB and 2MB. For example, you select Decimal and type a value between 65535 (64K) and 2097120 (2M).
‪8.‬Exit Registry Editor.

Notes
VVVV represents device descriptor idVendor in hexadecimal.
PPPP represents device descriptor idProduct in hexadecimal.

To get this update, you will need to click the "View and Request Hotfix Downloads" at the top portion of the page. Follow the instructions, like, fill out the info and check the files you want to download. They will send an email to with the links.

Happy updating and may it improve your USB storage device's performance. *Smile

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
