20 Most Recent PNY Attach? 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Questions & Answers

Since you can buy new one for $5 maybe it is time to replace it.

Did you change the format from (default)fat32 to Windows file system on your drive?

You should first read the documentation to see exactly what the flashing read light means. It could mean that the drive is near full capacity. Try removing/transferring a few files to your hard drive to see if the flahing read stops. As long as it works ok, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Perhaps it has not been prepped, eg: not formated to use. Format it with fat32 file system using formatting software from the manufacturer. Also, make sure the movie file does not exceed 16 GB.

It showed that the memory card has bad sectors try fixing it by typing "chkdsk x: /f /r" (x is the memory card) then press enter at the command prompt on your computer

at the command prompt type chkdsk X: /f /r where X is pen drive.If it doesn't work download the recovery tool here http://freeware-fix.blogspot.com/2013/04/usb-drive-is-unreadable.html

All pen and SD cards show up as removable hard drives. Removable or not they can be treated the same. You can format again just by right clicking on it, or use diskmgmt.msc to fully manage via the MS management console.It's basically doing the same as you did from the cmd prompt. If you asking to restore files, then you require a 3rd party software. There is Recuva (free), Wondershare, and Stellar. They all do the same thing.

You have to reformat the flash drive. Right click on the drive properties and click reformat. It will erase everything on it. But fixes most problems with flash drives.

Format it by using a device like a camera, the computer will not work to format this type of memory. I know this from own experience with 4 different computer in my house..

There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common cause is having the tiny slide switch on the side of the card in the wrong position. The second most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. There are also other common causes if the above didn't help, with troubleshooting steps for this problem listed here.
