Kingston USB Device not recognized

May 03, 2009

-   This drive I have (kingston data traveller 2 gb usb) has always worked like a charm until today. It still works in my laptop, which runs windows xp but when I plugged it into my vista computer it said it installed then did the autoplay. It started to display all the files and then froze up and I could go no further. I need to be able to access these files from my Vista computer because it is my main computer and the data traveller has all my work files on it (which are not currently on my vista computer because I just got the computer back yesterday from the Gateway repair shop).

I did try taking everything off and reformatting it but it does not get picked up after that. Even the status light on it doesn't even light up and no notifications of it show up. I tried it in a different usb port but there was no reaction there either, so I don't think it is the usb port messed up.

I tried searching for driver help for it and the kingston website only has one for windows 98SE, not Vista.-   Guest

-   I cannot view my kingston data traveler 2GB in my computer. Windows Vista recognizes the drive, says that it has installed the driver? But then i can't find the drive in the my computer.
I have also had problems adding other flash drives to my laptop. However, I can connect my digital camera's sd card throught the usb?
Also I know that the flash drive works as it works on xp. thanks JC-   buckinghamjc
