Hello Sir,

I've been experiencing difficulty accessing this site for a long time and so have not been able to accept or even ask a question. Good 2 be back sha.

Sometime ago and even now, I've had 2 experiences with flash drives. I just hope this is d last time for asking in this area. Just after using the 256Mb drives, subsequent attempts 2 use them proved useless as Win XP constantly replied, "disk cannot be formatted" 4 one and the other "There is no disk in Drive D".

Hope to get a High speed USB device soon but I will like 2 know why this is occuring; why after using a flash drive, it just goes so bad . Just discovered dat some of my friends had similar problems.

In fact, the answer I posted between the two server crashes was lost also.

I ***really*** think you've a problem with your USB concentrator on the motherboard... So a defective motherboard is my first bet.

What's the age in years, type, model of your mobo ? Have you tried to plug your USB flash drive into other USB sockets ? (you may have some in fron, at the rear, inside, on top, aside screen...)

Hello VGR,

Just yesterday, I finally used one of the flash drives on one system I've been used to for a long time only to discover that its working well. I guess probably it didn't work on the previous systems bcos they had usb 1.0 mobo. or something else but no problems, One of the flash drives is working now.

However, the second flash drive (256 Mb) is still giving thesame prompt on trying to format i.e. "Disk cannot be formatted". I've used this drive on many systems now but problems still permit. Is there any hope?

I must say thank u very much.

it may be also that the USB drive "losdt" its partiion/MBR settings. I got the case. You should run "DiskInfo" on it and get in touch with your hardware provider/seller to know what are the correct Head, Sector, Cylinders settings.

Good luck :D
