Usb flash pen drive

when Iplug in my pendrive it acts as a disk drive, when I open the pendrive, It says please insert the disk into the drive. I can't format the pendrive. please help.

i have bought kingston pen drive 8 GB..d problem is that files get corrupted...there r all sorts of different symbols instead of the actual file name...the space occupied by it also changes somehow....i tried formatting it but the problem persists.. i encountered same problem with my earlier SONY 4 GB PEN DRIVE(vaio)... please suggest some remedy..

It is possible the front set of USB connectors were mis-wired or the motherboard end was connected backwards, and thus might've damaged your flash drive & mp3 player. If you are interested in the pinout specs, look here http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml

If you've tried the flash drive & mp3 player in a known good computer, & they don't work, then this tells you they have a problem. If damage to the electronics of the devices has been done, because of a miswire, then they must either be replaced or repaired. As far as recovering data from the flash, this would be doubtful if the above is true. Look here for information related to repartitioning the flash drive. http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic17341.ht...

You might need to do something similiar with the mp3 player.

I don't have alot of experience with either device, but perhaps another contributor can give more accurate counsel.
