I purchased a new 4gb flash drive off Ebay (the package was Sony Vaio), and my new HP PC w/Vista does not recognize it. I called HP support and they didn't know what to do except try the Sony site. I did, and that didn't work either.

- I put the flash drive in another computer with XP and it worked in that one. It did show there was something on the brand new flash drive, so I formatted it to clear it (I've heard sometimes there is some sort of spyware that collects email addresses on new items, it happened to a guy at work). Then I tried it on my Vista and it still doesn't work. I think Vista has a lot of quirks that need to be fixed. ~ khalicoe

-   HI,
I have a new Sony Vaio laptop which does not recognize my Sony flashdrive, both bought from a Sony Style store.
It does recognize my external hard drive but when I plug in my flash drive it looks for drivers online and does not find any.
I run on Vista business, when I plug it into my friends laptop which runs on Vista ultimate it works !!!!
Any idea what it could be ???
Thanks,

GMH
