USB Flash Drive Reading Problem after installing CDRW
As a couple of you might know, I recently installed a CD-RW in my Dell DIM3000. Thanks everybody for the help Everything works great, but the one thing that is driving me crazy is that after installing the CD-RW for some odd reason my computer is not reading my SanDisk U3 smart USB flash drive.
When I plug my flash drive to my computer:
1- Windows recognizes the new hardware, but this process takes 30 to 50 seconds.
2- The U3 software doesn't automatically starts as it normally would.
When I go to My computer:
I used to work next to the division that made Pavilions. As you might know, Pavilions are made from other company's...
1- I see the usual two new icons under "Devices with Removable Storage" One for the U3 drive, another for the storage
Hello, I've a Dell dimension 8400 with a intel 640(3.4Ghz) processor and 2x512MB 533Mhz DDR2 Samsung CL4 memory(from dell) runing in dual Channel mode with low memory performance...
2- Before the Icon that was given to the U3 drive was a simple CD, now the icons looks like a CD drive icon.
When I check inside the flash drive: I find no files, not even the U3 software files. It shows as an empty drive.
When I unplug the USB flash drive: In a 4 to 7 minute time, I get a blue screen telling me the reason for the error. Then it tells me the drive and a long number.
***This only happens when I plug and unplug the USB flash drive.***
------------------ I checked to see if something was wrong with the flash drive itself by plugging it in my laptop, school's computer, friend's computer and my computer and work. And in all of this computer the my flash drive worked just fine. The U3 software started automatically as usual; and I was able to see and access my files.
What can I do?
Thanks
