Hi All,
I bought a USB flash driver (128MB) about 4 months ago. I am not sure
of the manufacturer but it has a logo of Orange and a little picture
of an Orange on it. (I am travelling so don't have the CD with me....)
I am running win2000 SP4 on dell latitude laptop,
Situation is:
1. Yesterday I plugged it into an XP Professional SP2 machine and it
came up with a message of no disk in drive F please insert disk. This
was the first time I had ever seen this message come up for my flash
drive. I didn't think much of it at the time and just used the other
guys flash drive.
2. Today when I put it into my PC it came up with the same message. I
can no longer see the drive. I tried to uninstall my win2000 USB
driver and then replug in the device but still no luck. We spent about
2 hours on this today to no avail so I thought I'd ask here.
I suspect one of 2 problems.
1. The drive has died. Such is life.
2. XP SP2 does something to the flash drive and we suspect that
something is somehow chaneg the driver that it should be using. The
driver in use now on my laptop is now UBSTORE.sys but I have a feeling
it used to be USBD.sys. Then again, I can't say I ever really looked
at which driver was being use...
So, if you have seen this happen before and you might be able to tell
me how to save my USB drive from going into the bin, I'd really
appreciate you letting me know if you managed to solve this specific
problem...
Much Appreciated in Advance...
