I plugged in my PNY 4 gb 2.0 Flash Drive into my computer. I saved some photos to this source. Now that I am finished, do I just remove the flash drive or is there something I should do with the photos saved?

The Elite X has faster read/write speeds (and is more expensive). Otherwise there is no functional difference.

Hi,

Moving files from your computer to the USB flash drive is simple. Plug in your flash drive. Go to "Computer" or "My Computer". You should now see your flash drive show up under a drive letter, like E: or F: for example. Double click this drive letter and a window should open up. Alternatively, when you plug in the flash drive you may get a message on your computer with an option "Open/View folders and files". You can click this to open the flash drive window.

Now, go to the location on your computer where the photos are located. You can use your mouse, click and hold , drag the mouse over files you wish to move. Now that the photos are highlighted, you can click, hold and drag them to the flash drive window. Alternatively, you can right click on pictures and choose the "copy" option. You can then right click inside of your flash drive window and chose "paste". Either of these options will move the photos from your computer to your flash drive.

Hi
Please follow these steps
1. I think its not a problem with flash drive.
2. There should be virus in your computer.
3. Please install anti virus or if it is already there update it.
4. I think that virus is deleting your files in the flash drive.

You plug it into a USB port on your computer. It should be plug and play, meaning it just works, unless it came with extra software you need to run, but I doubt that. Once it is plugged into your computer, a window may pop up asking how you want to use it, or you can open My Computer, and it should be listed there. Double click on the name of it and it opens in a new window. You can now drag and drop files into and out of it. Also, if you are downloading files from the Internet, you can specify to save the files in this location and they go straight onto your pny. Once the file is saved onto it, you can remove it from the computer and take it with you to keep your files close, or use to to transfer files between computers. You may need to use a method of removing it from the computer that prevents damage to the data on it. This process involves clicking on a small icon in the system tray (by the clock in the bottom right hand corner) that looks like a green lower case "t" that says safely remove hardware. Click on this and then click on safely remove my "pny drive" and in a second you should get a message that says you may now safely remove your device. Unplug it and you are done!

Not sure why it won't copy anything to the drive, but you can try formatting it and then copying to it once the format is finished.

Plug the device in, then open "My Computer" and right click on the drive letter that is assigned to the flash drive, then click "format" and leave all the options alone.

A quick format should be all that's necessary. If this doesn't work, I'll have to let another Expert take over.

1. Download this tool:

2. Format

(Before removing USB flash drive click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon and then click on USB flash drive you want to remove)

Connect your Pny attachi to USB port on your laptop using USB cabel available with your attachi, your laptop will detect the external device automatically and or it might also ask you to install drivers which you can install using CD available with Pny, once you have done you can easily transfer and share anything you want.

I had the same problem once upon a time with a PNY CF card about 4years ago after I photographed an entire football game for an article Iwas doing. Everything I did kept telling me that the card was corruptedand I never could retrieve the photos. Someone told me to use a better card so I have never used a PNY cardagain and consequently have never had the problem again. Stay with SanDisk Extreme or whatever high end card you can find and you'll be much happier.

I know this is the "Close-the-barn-door" approach to not losing thehorses after they have already escaped but I have a possible solutionto rescuing your photos trapped on the card if nothing else works. Lookfor a card retrieval program on the internet. There are free ones andthere are pay ones. Free is worth nothing and the others are worth morebut start with free if you can find one. The one I used was atcardrecovery.com (which wasn't free) and supposedly can even pull photosfrom damaged cards as well. I accidentally formatted a card beforegetting the photos off and the program retrieved all of those plus manyothers that were previuosly on it, all 39,000 of them, and it was onlya 4 GB card on a 8 MB camera! I think it was around $60 for the pay version but it justdepends on how valuable your photos are to you on that card. If yourinterested here's the link:

There is a free trial download offered but I don't know how many photos you have on the card so it may not get them all off.

GoodLuck-Steve A.

Most USB drives are "plug n play" meaning you just plug it in to a USB 2 port and your operating system will recognize it as a drive. If you're using Windows ME/XP/Vista, just plug it into a USB 2 port and once its recognized you'll be able to send files and folders directly to it by right clicking the file or folder and moving your mouse over SEND TO and selecting the drive from the list.
