Hi, guys,

I think this is the correct place for this thread, apologies if it is not.

I have a freecom 8GB memory stick which has lots of my work on it. have been using it with my new vista laptop, i plugged it in last night and it came up with no information on device and took while to load. so i plugged it into my dads XP PC and all the stuff was still there! i have copied the files on his computer as a backup.

I am curious as to why it will not recognise any of the information, when it had before.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!! :thumbsup:

J

It sounds like a permissions problem. Since you have backed up all the information on the drive, try formatting it and then putting the information back on it.

could be a USB port problem as well, try it in a different USB port. :D
