Hello,
Today I put some information on my flash from two computers. On the second computer I try to eject my flash, but I can't and I just pull it out. And now I try to open it on my computer but I can't. Windows is taking a massage. I have two options - Format and Cancel. I click on Cancel and try to open the flash from My Computer, but I can't. :(
Can you help me to open it, because I have important information on it.

Thanks!

Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 3.0.5

Hello,


I have a bad news for you.. perhaps while exchanging information from one computer to another you have not disable your usb device properly and this has cause some conflict with you Usb flash stick.

Try formatting the flash disk and try saving information again and also make sure to disconnect the usb from windows before removing it from port to avoid any physical damage.


Cheers;

Benedict

What you do is if you wanna get your info off it, when it askes you to find the program, go to browse, then go to the WINDOWS folder, then press "e" until it highlights the explorer.exe program. Select it. You have to do that EVERYTIME though, until you format your flash drive. That problem also happens if you use your flash drive with Linux too much, then try to use it with windows... Good luck !
