USBest USB2flashStorage USB Device site

I can not use my USB memory device. Windows xp sees it as a Removable device (USBest USB2flashStorage USB Device) and invite me to insert a disk in it! I can not format it or do anything with it.

Can anybody help me?

Re: USBest USB2flashStorage USB Device site

It is possible your drive has been damaged physically (dropped) or electrically (static or power surge).
Also I have seen these quit for no apparent reason that is why they should not be used for permanent storage.
Unfortunately there is not much you can do with them when they quit.

Cool Re: USBest USB2flashStorage USB Device site

Hy i find a solution for your pen drive :"Y have the same problem with my pen drive"
1. If your led ,on the pen drive it's not flashing,or it's not ON, you have to make a Short Circuit on the pen drive circuit.
2.After Short Circuit you have to remove and insert your pen drive 2,3 times in your USB Device.
3. you must format your pen drive try frist Fat 32.
4.to make Short Circuit you need my foto and y wil seend you by e-mail
IT's FREE
If you need hellp you find me on Messenger My Id is : mircea852005

Wink Re: USBest USB2flashStorage USB Device site

I got the same problem but the short-circuit solution seems is just a good joke. When I plug the stick I get the "Please insert disk message" from XP. I am trying to solve the problem but till I'll come up with a solution for Xp, I have to mention I've tried the stick onto my Ubuntu installation and it works fine. After all, it is an XP issue. For all the people mentioning having problems with this sticks my advise is to try them on some linux machine and see if there's any difference. Don't try any short-circuit jokes that might damage either your computer or the stick itself.
Cheers!
