• Windows thinks flash drive memory card reader - will not let me import the photos.

  I have Windows XP on my lap top. When I plug my USB memory card reader, Windows thinks that it is a flash drive, and if I try to open it, it just says: "insert in the drive. There is no drivers for the memory card reader - it was designed that way, I think. The memory card reader used to work fine with my laptop, but no more.

  Can someone tell me what's happened and how to fix it? Thank you.

  ====================================
  Just guess... could this be a hardware problem?

  If you have more than one port... try USB to another.

  Maybe you can connect the camera to your laptop via
  USB cable and see if you can download your photos.

• USB Flash drive can be used only on 1 computer?

  I have the Cruzer Blade Flash Drive 8 GB USB key.

  It seems that I can use it only on a single computer. I am running Windows XP Home SP3.

  When I try to copy files to the flash drive on the second computer, I get an error message.

  "You are currently on a guest PC you can not create a new online backup. '.

  Please notify.

  DRM

  I decided to call your Technical Support number.

  1-866-SANDISK (726-3475)

  First thing I asked was if I could copy files on the flash drive using SanDisk Secure Access Manager on multiple computers? He said: "Certainly."

  So, then I explained that I was getting the error I described above on computer 2.

  He had me try again. I copied a single 24KO file and this time there was no errors.

  Naturally, I am always intrigued by the error message I received last week. It was agreed that the text of the error message is misleading and can indicate a variety of problems such as a bad sitting flash drive for corrupted data or a user error is a copy & paste or click on & drag. He recommended to click & drag as the best option.

  I make backups more before this closing. But so far so good.

• External hard drive says its read-only and wont allow any changes

  My IQ505a has an attached external USB drive which is a drive external drive USB Western Digital 3200JS, and for a reason that I am unable to make changes to the data on the disk because the system apparently marked the entire disk in "read-only" mode.

  I put my account as an administrator and belong to the Group of Directors with all the usual permissions, except that I'm unable to disabled marking read-only on this drive.

  I also tried to connect and make these changes with the administrator account, but nothing helped.

  This problem is only with the external drive and not on the embedded player.

  Any help would be most appreciated ith this issue frustrating.

• My computer is now read-only with my CD, why?

  When I put the CD in my computer for some reason, they are read-only.

  I have no idea how this started.  Sometimes strange before, during a few months at random when I put a CD in a command prompt would not pop up and I had to go in my computer, but it's the only other problem I've had in this area.

  The only other thing weird I can think is that I had my computer for a month or two because my power supply bit the dust.  My computer was dead in the world until about 5 days ago.  When I turned it back (with a new power cord) I started having all sorts of problems.  Windows updates keep invites me each day to day, Media Player tells me something to lose the music, since a few days it has been once my music, this problem with CDs and other things that I don't remember right now.

  I have not tried to fix it yet because I don't know much about computers and I would rather add to the problem.

  Should I sync them?

• I let someone use my computer and somehow they ended up formatting my hard drive, so now I have no operating system. If windows are not coming how can I fix.

  I let someone use my computer and somehow they formatted my computer, s he always tells me to run the Startup Repair, but it won't let me. Someone knows how to fix this?

  Your best option is to try to reinstall Windows 7:

  If Windows 7 is pre-installed:

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
  ------------------------------------
  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 installed, use your reinstallation disk to perform a new installation:

• Tecra S1: CD-ROM/dvd-rom is now read-only

  Replaced broken unit of hard drive and OS changed from XP to 2000.
  Since then, the cd - dvd rom drive died while I used to be able to burn CDs... checked, but seems the drivers are fine. Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's very strange. As far as I know operating system or a specific HARD drive has no influence on the functionality of CD/DVD. It is interesting that if the drive is faulty, the engraving option has disappeared, but the reader can read the media without problem.

  If I remember correctly your unit a select drive from the Bay and if it is possible try to check with the other identical device.

• DVD rw drive in M18x read only not the dvd or cd.

  Hello.

It appears in my computer and the Device Manager and BIOS, saying his work properly but when I insert a CD or a DVD that it accepts in the slot load makes a noise as if the laser is set but the CD or the DVD turns not to the top. I read in forums on how to solve the problem, I tried upgrading the firmware to the last and that did not solve the problem. Tried to do a full shutdown and diagnostics even starting with alien autopsy, he finds no error, and at the moment I am at a loss I may need to get in shape quickly and the windows dvd does not read in the drive.

  could you please send me a private message with your serial number or express service code so that we could find another solution for you.
