I have just got a new kingston 4gb datatraveler how do i download my files of my laptop to it please

Probably you just copied a shortcut to the location of the files. You need to go back and verify whether this is the case.

Hello insert the drive in the usb port.

When you see the drive in the control panel, right click on it and choose format.

Select NTFS in the selection box, and mark quick format and click start.

This could take a while.

You just have to save ALL the previous saved files, before you format, because the files will be lost, when the the drive is formatet.

Good luck

What is the issue that you are having with your Kingston 4GB USB DataTraveler Mini Slim?

Try formatting the drive. Should be a problem with the file system.

deffinately your Pen drive dead

buy new one. if it covers warranty ask for replacement

I think you will find that the card works fine but your computer doesnt recognise the card reader properly. Windows 98 does not properly recognise most usb devices but Windows 98SE does although I am not sure if it will recognise usb2 properly.
