I have a Lexarmedia Jumpdrive 256 MB. I have used it as a backup for my
school work and to work on it when I am not at my home computer.
I have had no problems with going back and forth between home and school
computers, but the other day I used it on my friends laptop, saved my work
and pulled out the stick. When I got home, I plugged it into my home
computer, and (I have XP) a window popped up at the bottom saying the USB
device had been detected, and then a brief window opened showing "scanning"
of one of the folders I had saved on the stick, but then another window
popped up saying please insert disk into drive e. (where the stick was
already plugged in).
When I go to My Computer, it shows up as a removable storage device in my e
drive, but when I double click to open the drive, it still doesn't open. I
found the following link on the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;890202
maybe this is the problem? I'm waiting to find out what type of system my
friend had on her laptop, but I think its XP too. She might have an older
version of Word though.
In the meantime, if my jumpdrive is not repairable, is there somewhere I can
take it in to have someone retrieve the contents? I know there is stuff
still inside it, the computers just aren't reading it. Please let me know if
you can help...my thesis is on there and it's due in three weeks!
