Flaeh drive problem

is it formatted / partitioned

if it is new you will need to partition it and format it,

If you are running win 98 you may have to download drivers to use it.

on XP right click My computer, Choose manage and go to disk management, you should be able to see the flash drive there, if it is unpartitioned or unformatted, you should then be able to partition it and format it

if you are using this flash disk on several systems it may be best to format as FAT 32 as it is more portable
