HELP USB not recognized

[Alucard]

Whenever I try to plug in my USB the error "USB not recognized" pops up down the bottom left. I'm desperate. D: Help me LG?

It's a 2Gb "Kuma" usb. Some cheap shitty brand.

Edit: I've tried it on multiple computers and it won't work. I have access to Vista and XP at the moment. I'm currently on the Vista. Also I need the files on it. So I can't format it or anything.

maybe its corrupted..have you try it in another pc??

...are your drivers up-to-date?

[gotxbrain]

Ditto, check your drivers. Did the usb thingy come with something to install? It may need propper drivers not on your computer already.

And ditto also, if you just remove the usb without clicking the safely remove usb device down in the toolbar it may be corrupt

If not, check on their website.

1-Turn off the PC with the card in the slot (don't just restart, SHUT IT DOWN).
2-Unplug the power cord
3-Hold the START button for 5 - 6 seconds and release
4-Reinsert the power cord and restart the PC with the card in the slot.
All reader slots reinstalled and all was well - for me. Be sure to let us know if this works for you. I found this solution burried in a HP website.

I think he's talking about USB drives, not cards.

Yeah it only worked the first few times now it won't work on any commputer.

I can't find the specific driver for the USB. But all my laptop's drivers are up to date.

I didn't come with anything, and I always remove it correctly.

Attempting this now. Fingers crossed.

Edit: It's a flash key or whatever you call them, but I assume your method is still relevant.

Ah, tired damn eyes, was it any effective? If not I'll go googlan.

This should probably be in the junkyard.

Right click on my computer and choose "manage"
And then go to "Disk management"
And select your flash drive (should be around 2048Mb)
right click and choose "format" This will erase the files on the flash drive
Then format it for "Fat32"

Why? This is a discussion. General discussion.
Plus I need the files.

[Elliot]

Why would you delete everything on your PC just for a flash-drive. That is not the only option.

Can you tell me you type of computer?

It only erases the files on the flash drive. The drive has become corrupt by him just unplugging the flash drive without ejecting it first. So he has to re-format the flash drive.

Er not it hasn't. Like I said I always ejected it correctly...

[Alucard]

Still not working.
