that sucks...

do thos things use drivers? try reinstalling the driver, or try using a differnt usb port. if neither of those work try using it on that computer you built.

u might wanna watch ur language here if you want help

you should contact the manuf for ur problems, if xp can't recongnize the flash drive then there is something wrong with it

did u try another usb port?

[DarkClown12]

yes i did, and i hav tried 3 os xp pro, windows 2000, and 98

[james_bond_rulez]

maybe there is a problem with ur computer. did you try at another computer and see if it works?

if all the computers u've tried dont work, then ur usb flash drive may have a problem and u need to bring it to a computer technician to extract the information inside.

do you know of a good cheap place to go, and do you kno if the data can be recovered? i bought it at circuit city, and i think it has a warrenty still on it so i will go by there tommorow and check on it.

[james_bond_rulez]

yup that's a good idea ;)
