Flash drive does not connect and show up in my computer

Sounds like the drive failed or corrupted

Download the driver from Verbatims web site. Reinstall it some of thos flash drives are really picky. You might have had a virus and it wrecked the connection. Reinstall the driver from Verbatim.

hi have you try connect it to other computer? if is working i guess your usb port have problem try to connect your flash drive to other usb port at the back your cpu. if not working your usb flash drive have problem. thanks

A flashdrive shows up in Windows as a new drive letter un Windows Explorer.
If you right click on My Computer (XP), Computer (Windows 7) you can select explore or open.
The dialog box that opens is split in half. the left side shows the "drives" and corresponding letters. Typically, you will have a Local C:\ for your Primary hard drive, CD Drive D:\ for a CD/DVD and the flash drive will show as Removable Drive E:.
To copy work to the new flash drive, you can select save as from your program and select the drive letter that you saw the removable drive named in Windows explorer.

You can also, from the folder named My Documents, copy the file by right clicking on it, then selecting the flash drive letter and pasting into the empty window associated with it on the right side of the divided Windows Explorer screen.

Hi,
1. Connect your pendrive to some other computer. If works well, then there have to be some problem with your computer. Try connecting your pen drive to some other usb ports available in the rear side of your computer.
2. If not works even in another computer then the problem may be with your pen drive. Try to claim warranty, if applicable.
I hope this is useful to you
Thanks

must be ur usb drive not installed properly

Check out if the USB ports are 1.1 or 2.0
Your computer may use 1.1 and not see the newer 2.0

If you connect it to any computer and it doesn't show up, it has gone bad. Sorry.

Hi,
If you have any other Computer with XP operating System. Connect the Drive. Check if detected then format the drive by checking full format on the menu.
Then connect it the Vista computer and Use it.
Hope This Helps!!!  Please Don't Forget to Rate my Response!!! Thanks!!!

I own three flash drives, and follow this procedure. When you connect a flash drive, it should show up in "My Computer" as a removable drive - with a letter designation. Windows 98 requires driver software, XP and VISTA does NOT.

When you DISCONNECT the flash drive, you should "right click" on the drive icon, and select EJECT. The little light on the flash drive will go OUT, and THEN IT IS SAFE TO REMOVE IT. If you just pull the flash drive out without going through the disconnect ritual, you risk blowing the drive, and it is kaput. Doesn't always happen, but it can.
