USB trouble: Help Requested

[Monte's Laptop]

Hi,

I am having problems with a USB memory stick I just bought. It works fine
on every computer I have tried it on except mine....however, every other USB
device I use on my computer works just fine.

I had a similar problem with a similar device before ( a USB adapter for
transfering pisc from a camera). These devices both try to be a "Removable
storage device"

Any ideas?

My USB 256mb memory stick by Sandisk shows up as a removable storage
device both on my desktop and notebook computers running XP Home.
Works fine that way for me.

1-"Removable storage device" is what it is. Mine works
better if I disable buffer & u can remove it faster:
Prop(drive letter) > HardwareTab > Highlight drive > Clk
Prop > PoliciesTab > select 'Opt for Removal'

2-My CF prop thinks it's full but its not. SO I defrag it /
format it & whaa-laa it works.
