  • USB flash drives do not work

    Hi all

    I have a couple of USB flash drives. I recently got a new computer and none of them work. They work on a computer with Vista and a Macintosh running leopard OSX. I tried to install the drivers for them, but they do not work. I tried to uninstall the from Device Manager, but they don't always work. Also, one of them appears SOMETIMES (very rarely) and when he does works incredibly slow and unresponsive so. I searched the internet for each method I can find, but nothing yet. And they work very well on other computers. Can I use bluetooth USB and a USB mouse and pregnant too much work, but the sticks of memory will not work. Also do they not appear on Device Manager. I have Service pack 3 2002 edition came with the computer.

    Hello Hasan516,

    Thank you for your message.  Have you tried formatting of thumb drives?  If you have data on them, you will need to copy these data to a computer first.
    If you can see the drive but not access it under XP:
    Open 'My computer' > click the drive and select "format...". »
    When the Format window opens, scroll down the "NTFS" file system, and select 'start '.
    Please let us know if this is or is not to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • USB flash drive will not format

    Dane Elec 16 GB USB drive flah.

    When inserted, it tells me that it needs formatting. But I can not format, because somehow, it is write protected. However, there are not switch or any possibility of mechanics to remove the write protection.

    I tried unlocker, formatting to ntfs (with XP, Win7, and BACK), but nothing works.

    Any suggestions?

    Groet puts goede Rob

    Hello

    Have you tried to format your USB key, but instead to use NTFS you use FAT 32?

    Click on windows start orb
    type cmd and do a right click and select run as administrator
    type diskpart
    disc type list
    Select the drive that is your USB. For example, if your USB is no disc select 2 then type 2
    clean type
    type create partition primary
    Type format fs = fat32 quick
    Type exit

    Now see if it finally formatted your USB Flash drive

  • Flash drive is not detected

    Original title: Flash drive problem

    I got my player wiped clean flash caused by a virus. Now, when I insert the disc nothing happens. I am not very informed when it comes to these things, but I thought that my data would be entered on the drive again, just like the first time around. Made null and void by car when I had the deleted info?

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario with Windows Vista Premium. Also, I just had the motherboard replaced, but I don't think it would have something to do with it. I appreciate your help!

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

    Pavan

    When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.

    This tip came in practice more than once in my experience.   ^_^
