[bcab] Re: 8Gb USB Flash Drive

Hi Derek,

 

If it doesn't appear in My computer, and yet you can hear  the usual
sound as it is plugged in or out, you may just have a similar problem
to one I had.

 

Go to Control Panel, System, Device Manager and the navigate down to
the USB section.  Make a careful note of what's there, and then plug
in the 8 GB drive. Look to see what has been added - in my case, it
was a "USB Composite Device".  Select the new device, right click on
it and select properties.  You may well find on examining properties
that the device is "Disabled".  Click on "Enable".

 

I have this problem every time I take my Lexar 4 GB drive from being
used in XP, back to my Vista system.  It's very annoying.

 

George.

Hi Folks

I have just brought a 8Gb USB Flash Drive, my PC knows that the drive
has been inserted into a USB 2.0 slot on my USB external hub and also
on the front of my PC that is running Windows Xp Pro. (SP3) and JAWS
9.0but I cannot find the drive in my computer screen or system tray
therefor does anyone know how I can resolve my problem.

Thanks

Derek
