Genx pe4ndrive.when I insert in lap top click to open it is displays not formatted.when I clic formatting button it is displayed that i will loose all memory of pen drive it's data.

Try it on an other computer... if that fails, it might have developed bad sectors (spots) reformat and do a scan, which writes and reads all memory locations... might be corrupted and/or broken, but try another computer first to make sure it is not a driver issue.

My capacity genx 2gb usb chenge to 14 mb.when i connect flash disk i show cd drive added in my computer and capacity my flash disk cheng of 2 gb to 14 mb.plz help.my email [email protected]

This typically means the drive has gone bad. Try reformatting the USB drive. Some manufacturers also provide diagnostic/formatting tools on their website that might be able to fix it. But likely it will need replaced. Lucky 2GB USB drives now only run $7.99 or less.

If the usb port is NOT a 2.0→ it may NOT run.
* Try opening 'My computer' and searching for the usb drive there.
* advanced effort- try using 'Device manager' to see if your usb port is functioning porperly.

Memory card

Does your phone itself have enough memory to store your videos. If so, put the card back into phone, create a folder in the phone memory and transfer the vids from card to phone. When done, put the card back into PC and format it (Quick Format if poss). When done, put it bach in phone and transfer vids back. Now put it in PC, it should read a card which it formatted itself!

GENX USB 4GB when i insert in my computer it shows as drive F, but when i try to open it computer says "Please insert a disk into drive F:" so it won't open anymore. please help if u can. jooe

if you have any data you need to recover then use

http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/file_recovery/info.htm?language=1

or r studio

which is paid for software but well worth it.

If you dont care about the data then you can just erase it either by right clicking on the drive and going format / erase or right clicking on my computer --> manage --> disk management --> right click on F drive or the memory stick and then select format / erase
