My laptop does not recognize my verbatim 8gb flash drive

Click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you could see a yellow question / exclamation mark? ! or a red X

you will need to update/reinstall drivers

right click to reinstall drivers

if you can see your usb drive but its not working

ports (com&lpt) right click update driver if this fails to fix the problem

check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red white green black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems for a computer and its parts

if you need more help with this post a reply

hope this helps you

Go to Control Panel, then to System Mgr and then Devices. Check to see if all are marked with +s. You probably have a - in that area. Click on the minus and see what it says. You may need to add a driver or reinistall the flash drive.
