Dario, on Wednesday August 6, 2008 01:33:03 AM
Hello,

My Windows XP not recognize any memory devices (installed on my notebook Acer 4720), like pen drives, memory cards, etc... I tried a lot of things to solve this problem. Can somebody there help me?

Thanks!

When I insert a pen drive or a memory card on my notebook, and then I try to open the device in my Windows XP, the Windows show a message saying

"The disk in drive F is not formatted.

Do you want to format it now?"

Then, I press "Ok". I tried all the ways to format the disk, but no works. Then the Windows show a message saying:

"Windows was unable to complete the format."

and later...

"The disk in drive F cannot be formatted."

you have to format in a low level format; boot from windows 98 then run fdisk locate your flash drive delete partition, restart again on win98 type format <drive> where your flash drive located. Careful when doing this because your c drive is your main drive. CAREFULLLLL!!!!!

I have the same problem. nothing i connect to the drive works, it appears then disappears when i try to copy anything or format it or TOUCH anything on it. If i don't do anything it'll remain inserted.

I need help with this too!

I think this problem can be solved by checking the error of the drive by right clicking on the removable drive drom my computer then click on the properties then tools the click the button check now. this will automatically check the errors on the drive and also rectify if any problem had.

I have the exact same problem on my work pc. I tried two different memory devices and neither work, however they are both just fine when I use them in any other machine so theres nothing wrong with them.

It went bad after installing SP3 so I think the problem is in windows xp's drivers.
