2 of my usb flash drives are not recognised while 2 are, and I have just been given a new one.When I plugged it in the computer said it was loading drivers and then that it was ready for use.It shows up in device manager but I cannot access it from 'my computer'.The same applies to 2 of my 4 drives.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got three different (but identical, to look at them) MicroSDHC thumb drives. When I tried them in my new Win 7 PC, it assigned a different drive letter and description to each, under Devices with Removable Storage. Even though "Hide empty drives in the computer folder" is checked in my Folder Options, it's not working -- they're still listed under Computer, grayed out. Worse, when I fire up Windows Explorer, it occasionally (but not consistently) gives me a series of errors about the drives not being available -- and this continues to happen even after I uninstall them in Device Manager.

I even get this message come up when I plug my TomTom satnav in via USB.If I click on the drive designation I get the following message: {{ K:drive is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Make sure that all required file system drives are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.}} I know that the memory sticks are OK as I have tried several and also tried all the USB slots on the computer and in another computer. I cannot remember having done anything to have caused the problem since last using the USP drives.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt is difficult to remove multiple flash drives using the safely remove hardware dialog. I had three flash drives plugged into a USB hub, and I wanted to remove all three at once. I click on the remove hardware icon in the notification area, but it only allows me to select one drive at a time.
When I click on a drive to remove, the dialog disappears and another window opens to let me know that the drive can be removed.
I have to repeat this process for the other two drives. Worse still, the remove hardware icon changes position when the safe to remove dialog appears.
Ideally, when multiple removable devices are installed, the remove hardware dialog should remain visible after selecting a device to remove. That would allow the user to select additional devices to remove if so desired.
I have win 7 home premium on one tower and win 7 pro. on another. My question is can I save a system iso of each one on usb flash drives in case of a crash? My home premium c:/ drive shows 445gb. free from 465gb. so would I have to use at least a 20gb. flash drive. I know New Egg has a large selection of flash drives. I have a second hd in my pro system I used to save a complete iso backup on it.

How big a risk if I just remove it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my PC. It is simply can't read lot of USB drive. I need to restart in order to be able to read it. Sometimes it is working or else it is still fail to read.I don't know what is the problem but I get this Inaccessible Function error. And when I checked at Disk Management, the file format of the USB flash drive shown as RAW.I have Ubuntu on my PC (dual boot). And it is just working. Therefore for some reason, my Windows 7 is stupid enough to detect my USB file system.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have tried multiple fixes and still cannot connect any flash drive or external drive to any usb port on my computer without the dreaded "Usb not recognized" error. My mouse and keyboard are both usb and have worked fine though. I have unplugged the power cord from my psu for a few minutes. I have booted into safe mode. I have deleted the infcache.1 file. I have check my Bios settings (and have latest bios update). I have completely removed all the usb devices in device manager and rebooted which reinstalled everything. I have booted the computer up with a flash drive already in a usb port. I have gone into Drive Manager to see if anything is recognized without a drive letter. I have even applied the hotfix from here - [URL]. Nothing seems to work, yet all of these devices work fine on my netbook running Windows XP.
When I originally installed Windows 7 everything was working fine. I would say it roughly stopped working a month or two ago. I don't constantly use flash drives or my externals so I could be a little off on the time frame (why I didn't do a system restore). I first noticed the problem when I plugged in my Tmobile G1 phone to transfer files and it wasn't recognized. My phone would still charge off of the usb port, but I couldn't mount and browse the 4 gig sd card in my phone. It was working before because I have files on my phone that I transferred from my computer after the Windows 7 install. I started testing out my known, working flash drives as well as my usb powered 2.5" external drive and they too come up unrecognized on all usb ports (front and back).
My specs:
AMD X2 5000+ BE
Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G mobo
G.Skill PI Black 4GB ram (2x2 - DDR2 800)
2 Western Digital Sata drives
Nvidia 9800 GTX+ video card
450 Watt PSU (don't remember brand right now, but good amp rating on 12v for video card).
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The only drivers I am using for the system that are not the default Windows 7 drivers are for my video card and onboard audio. Onboard audio is the only Windows 7 driver provided on the Gigabyte website for my motherboard. What shoild I do, check or double check or should I start considering formatting and a reinstall of Windows 7 (which I have been trying to avoid)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a new motherboard yesterday, installed it, and installed windows. This morning, I decided it would be a good idea to flash the UEFI (BIOS) to the newest version. Now, when I try to boot, it just sits with a gray cursor at the top left of the screen. I went into the UEFI and went to boot order, but it only shows my 1TB hard drive and my dvd drive. But I had a 750GB hard drive with windows installed. I think this is the reason it won't boot, because it doesn't see the drive with the OS installed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just recently acquired a flash-drive and have been curious as to how to encrypt some files on it. The key word being some.It's a large drive (8GB), and will be used for many different things. I want an area on the drive to be used to transport/hold personal documents which I wish to have encrypted.I have tried software like TrueCrypt which decided to use the whole drive, and didn't seem to work properly anyway (?)I want something that acts like a 'safe', I double click it, I enter a password, I access the files.I need the software to run strictly from the stick, without the need for Admin' Privileges and for it to work on most operating systems (2000 and newer)... I understand I could use old fashioned password protected/encrypted .zip's.... but I don't know if Windows can natively read these without the need of say 7zip or WinZip.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen attaching a flash drive:
1. The autoplay pop up doesn't appear;
2. The device does light up initially;
3. The device doesn't show up in "Computer"
4. The device doesn't show up in Disk Management - just Disk 0 (system reserved, C: and I and 0 (CD ROM)
5. The device appears in Device Manager under USB controllers as a storage device but I can't access it.
6. This happens with all memory sticks and occasionally with ipod etc.. but sometimes for no apparent reason they work! All devices works ok with other computers.
7. 9 times out of 10 plugging in a device or turning on the USB attached printer will cause the computer to BSOD, usually with IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL 0X0000000A
8. Devices are never allocated a drive letter.
The only thing I can think of is that I repartitioned the external hard drive (which I attach to back up) which may have confused the computer with driver numbers? Possibly?! And I did fiddle with the System Reserved drive as I had back up issues and one of the solutions was to rename it, then I renamed it back again (I think).I'm running Windows 7 Home 64-bit, Avira anti virus and the computer is about 6 months old, working ok until a month ago. Can't think that we downloaded anything about the same time as the problem started but possible. I've tried to update all drivers that I can think of but the only one that needed doing was the Nvidia GeForce 7025 which was outdated.
My netbook that uses windows 7 starter cannot detect any of the flash drives and has display troubles cause everytime restart its display will be in windows classic. Should I take it to be repaired??

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 HP has suddenly started to create headers for the alphabetical groups it has started to organize the contents of my flash drives into. Here is an example: The headers were not there last week, they have not been there since the system was built a year ago, they are not on the drives themselves and they do not appear when the flash drives are plugged into my XP system. I have made no changes that would account for the appearance of these headers during the past week or so.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy laptop is not letting me copy anything onto USB flash drives. I'm using windows 7. I have already tried system restore and uninstalling the drive in Device Manager and Disabling write protection in the registry but to no avail. I am able to format the pen drive and also access files on it and copy files from it. But I am not able to paste files from my laptop onto the pen drive. It says "Destination folder access denied" and "You need permission to perform this action". I am running an administrator account. Also I am able to do everything normally in the case of a external HDD but again face the problem when trying to paste something to SD cards. I have taken ownership, run as administrator and also tried to drag-drop but to no avail. This not for just 1 particular file/folder. I am not able to copy anything to the USB and at the same time I am able to copy anything to the external HDD.

View 6 Replies View Related- flash player barely works;
- (more than usual) pixelated image;
- constant video freezing to catch up to the sound;
- sound "crackles";
now, the quirks:
- happens in both ie8 and firefox 3.5, both updated with flash player 10.0.32
- if (example in Internet), you scroll down so the video doesn't show, the sound works fine and no freezes nor crackles. go back up, same old thing;
- just opening either ie or ff makes a couple of (rather high pitched) crackles flow from the speakers like water from a waterfall. sometimes the sound just goes completely off.
as for my equips, i have a windows 7 32bit, and both graphic and sound drivers were installed today, latest versions.
well, i don't exactly know how, but it's fixed. thanks for those who tried to give a hand and sorry to anyone who had the same issue.
Since I installed Windows 7, I can't get any newer flash sites to work. I have reinstalled flash and made sure that I have the most recent release, but most sites still say "you do not have the required flash" or whatever.
Any thoughts would be super appreciated. (I'm dying due to a lack of online TV.)

View 1 Replies View Relatedi just downloaded flash player 11 on my computer with windows 7 operating system. after i restarted the computer, i began having problems with the playing of some online videos. some played fine, while others just left a solid black screen on the screen. when i clicked around on the solid black screen, and got the video to where it was "full screen", the video played fine. however, the video would not play unless it was on "full screen."
the smaller screen on the webpage would remain black and i couldn't see the video. it was very strange also, that i could hear the audio, but couldn't see any video. it is also very strange that not all the online videos did this. there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to whether or not the videos reacted this way. some c-span, Internet, etc. videos worked fine, while others didn't. prior to downloading flash player 11 i never had this problem.
