Are you using Windows XP?
Tell us all that happens when you insert the USB flash drive into your computer. What do you see and hear?
Absolutely nothing happens when i plug it in thats the problem i tried all 4 of my usb ports but the led light in the flash drive wont light up, its supposed to isnt it?
Linkit asked if you were using XP at home. This is a key question. If not,you probably don't have the driver for the flash drive.
oh my bad.... yea i use windows xp (pro) if it makes a difference where would i get the driver from then?
with another USB device. They may be disabled in Device Manager, the Bios or you may have never loaded the mainboards drivers.
