USBest USB2flashStorage USB Device site

pielle98 · 02-15-2008, 08:09 AM

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?

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.

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

Hi Prodimsa,
I'm having the same problem, but I still not know how I can make a shot circuit on my memory key. Could you send me the way (photo) to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Dandi.

Hi i am also having the same problem can i have the short circuit photo?
thanks

fbender · 06-17-2008, 01:38 AM

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!

Here's what I did and it worked but its not permanent. Insert your usb device on usb port, when it is shown at "My Computer" (sorry I'm not fully versed on these computer thingies) anyway right click on the removable device then properties. Under properties, there is a category named "Hardware" click on it then properties (there is also a properties category there), then choose uninstall. What happens is when you insert it on the same port, it will start installing the device. What you do next is insert the device on all usb ports on your computer then do the same steps mentioned here. When you insert it ona port it will be installed and then it will autoplay if it works (and considering the light on the device is on). What you do now is to copy all your files from the device to the computer. Well this can save your files, but it can't save the device. Hope this helps.
