USB Pendrive Problem Not Yet Solved

[Guest]

Hi, I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, previously it was running great,
and I bought an Apacer 4GB ReadyBoost pendrive, it was awesome.

After few months, I'm ruin my Vista, so I decided to format it, after
formatted, and I make it dual boot with my XP, now it don't recognize my
pendrive, it said driver installed and ready to use, but I never see any
removeable drive in My Computer, I tried to remove the INFCACHE.1 file as
well, but no luck.

Please point me to the solutions, thanks.

Successful to removed the file, but no luck for me to use my pendrive.

did you check in the device manager if it was there if it is check the
computer manager by right clicking the my computer, then click manage, a
screen should appear, go to disk management tab on your left, wait for
screen to load then your device should be here, and might not have a drive
letter assigned to it, this is the place to do it

Yes. Disk Management didn't shows my pendrive. In Device Manager, under USB
controllers, I got USB Mass Storage Device, at Disk Drives I got "Disk
Drive" (suppose to have "USB FLASH DRIVE USB Device" , which on XP) when I
plugged in my pendrive, but nothing happened.

REMOVE Properly ALL USB Devices
Boot into SAFE MODE and Use Device Manager to remove ALL
USB Devices and Controllers.... basically ALL under USB.
Reboot into normal windows. Be prepared to re-install USB
device drivers for products that use them.....

This might work is leads to next step if it doesn't....
Which is to create a new user with ADMIN rights and see if the
USB devices will install then.....

oh my apologies i had misunderstood what he had said, i thought he had said
that he had it installed, but couldn't see the device in the my computer

Hi there, still no luck on solving my problem.

I'm using the Administrator account (root), and when I plugged in my pen
drive, it will show the installing h/w icon on system tray, which we can see
the progress if we click it, it shows that "USB Mass Storage Device" and
"Disk Drive" is ready to use, but I didn't have my pen drive in my computer,
or disk management or any where, but there are once incident (I forgot how)
it shows in my computer, but it is unusable, with 0 capacity 0 free space,
can't format can't do anything with it.

I had tried deleting the cache file, I had tried removing all the USB
driver, but not solving the problem. Previously I can use the same pendrive
on the same machine (different Vista Ultimate installation), but after
formatted my Vista, now I won't work, I had reinstalled 3 times, yet no luck.
Is it my machine's h/w problem or something else?

Thanks, and looking forward for reply.

spirit if you have any idea, the floor is yours, i probably could figure it
out eventually,but in tampa it's 12:38am i was getting headache from sound
"we takin over", had small day dream though i dreamed that we took over
microsoft after huge riot, and we made os that didn't need thechnical
support, that the os ran fine without support. yeah as i was saying right
now i'm at a blank, may be tomorrow morning i'll have any idea, just please
tell me exactly what you tryed, maybe i'll see something we missed.

arrrr, just now tested my pendrive on office deskotp, windows XP, it can't be
detected just like in my Vista at home, but I try on another laptop with XP
as well, it works, now, I'm pretty sure is there something wrong with my
pendrive, isn't it?

I had finally 'solved' my pen drive connectino problem with the xp machine at
my office, I removed the Hotfix (11/09/07), and it works, I do not confirm if
it has to do with the Hotfix, but my Vista is fresh installed, so, basically
I still haven't solve my problem. Anyone, any idea?
