July 4, 2011Try on other pcs, or under linux, Mac.
Try right clicking on My Computer, Select Manage, Under Computer Management then select Disk Management. Choose your usb gig drive, Delete the partition and make a new one again then format it as FAT.
After plugging in the device. Go to device manager (In run type “devmgmt.msc”) In Device manager go to “Universal serial bus controllers” It should list the storage devices that you have connected to your PC. Right click and then click “Uninstall. Remove the USB drive and restart your system.
thanks for the tips. however, the computer does not detect the device on any computer. i guess it is damaged because of some reason.
