Open your favorite file manager (on Windows you can press the Windows and E keys simultaneously to bring up Explorer). Your jump drive will show up as a removable hard drive. You can then drag&drop your documents to it, the same way you copy any other files from one place to another.

click start control panel administrative tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now start you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive I found that you get best results by ticking one box then returning after it has finished then tick the other box If you need more help with this post a reply hope this helps you

I'm a member of the PR team. Sorry to hear you are having these issues. We'd like to help.

You're looking for the option to "Format" the flash drive. Plug it in to your computer, and depending on the operating system, you're going to click Start > My Computer or Compute > Then right click on the Flash Drive, it should be listed on the left hand side of the screen. Find the Format option and select it. That should delete all of the files.

Hi.. You might check to see that the external drive is actually powered up, does it need to plugged into power or is it USB connected. Try a different USB port. Go into start settings system device manager and see if the USB ports all come up ok, or if there is a yellow ? Question mark, meaning that the system isn't recognizing one or more f them (And, if that's the case, you probably need new USB drivers on the PC.. - unplug the USB device, tell windows to update the driver (or delete the bad device and reboot - windows should rebuild the USB device ))

Worst case, take the drive to a computer repair place and tell them you want to get the pictures off the drive. Unless the drive itself has died, should be able to get photos off it.

My first item to Trouble shoot i think would be your media card reader, check in your device manager to see if there are any conflicts in the driver or if a driver is even installed for it. if there is a conflict, go to your pc manufacture website go to support , drivers an download the card reader and reinstall. Also is there any data on the card? and if not has it been formated yet?

Yes, the memory chip inside it is fried. There's nothing you can do, junk it and buy a new one.

I wish that I could provide hope. Unfortunatly when this device is dead it is dead.

Hello,

Please try to use the HP USB Format Utility tool to format your USB Flash Drive.I've personally used it on even the most stubborn flashdrives.Check it out!
Download it from CNET from http://download.cnet.com/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool/3000-2094_4-10974082.html

Thanks and welcome.

Some computers will not support a large 8GB stick. The best some will do is 2GB, If you are running a computer pre-2001, you may not be able to use the 8GB stick (I have the same problem with my desktop PC). It just is not supported!

Hello

OK, if the memory card itself is locked, you might sometimes get this error code. All you need to do is to take out the memory card and switch the lever on the left side to the unlock.



If the error is still displayed after you did the above, you might want to try the card in another camera.

If the card works in another camera . the problem is with your card reader in your camera.

If you open you sd slot and look inside with a sharp light , you should be able to see on the left side of the slot there is a little copper or spring steel lever switch. This switch work as follows:

1. When no card is inserted / no write protection , the switch is open and thus the protection is off.
2. When locked card is inserted , the tab is depressed and tells the camera that the card is lock.

Contrary to popular belief ,the little tab on the sd card is not an electronic switch and does not physically influence the card operation itself. If you put a locked card into a camera without a sd lock switch , you would still be able to use the card normally.

It is incredible difficult to fix this switch because of space limitations in the sd card. Look into the sd slot and if you can see the switch , use a needle to pull the little tab down toward the base of the camera by about 2mm or until it works being careful not to bend it.

If this does not resolve your problem , there might be a short in the switch circuit and the camera will need to be disassembled to resolve this error. This should cost no more than $50.

Please feel free to contact me if you need further information

Kind regards
Andrea
