Dear Ajax310 Fistly you must see if it initialises. If not then your drive need replacing. Is your pc connected to a network with many drives mapped? if so try this. 1. Right click on "My Computer", go to "Manage" and select "Disk Management" under "Storage" 2. If you see your USB drive, right click on it and select "Drive Letter and Paths" and select "Change" button and select any available drive letter. 3. You should have access to your drive, only if this the problem. Your problem description suggest this to be the problem or the drive would not power up.

2gb micro cruzer causing the pc to restart

Do you have another USB device which you can use to check if it will come up with the same problem? There are 3 things which could cause it to freeze and restart. It could be a problem with the software device driver needed to detect the USB micro cruzer, the USB port itself or it's the USB micro cruzer. One good thing worth to try is plugging your USB micro cruzer on another computer to check if the problem will also occur there. If it does, then it's isolated to the USB device. If there's no other computer available, 1) Try to run an anti-virus and anti-spyware scan on your computer, 2) start up your computer on safe mode and try to check if it'll occur there as well. 3) If it doesn't occur under safe mode and your able to access your USB device, try to run an anti-virus and anti-spyware scan on your USB device to check for problems there. 4) If all else fails, then it could be a problem with the USB device. hope this helps.
