A few months ago, I think I managed to re-format my USB minidrive (don't ask me why), but (not surprising) I can no long access it.

Any ideas lads/lasses, as it would really come in handy round about now! :-(

'Tis ok peepz. I remembered exactly what I did all those months ago, and have now sorted the problem. :)

I'd started my machine with my XP disc in the drive, and went into setup. Then, for some random reason, I decided to delete a 50-odd meg partition that have appeared out of nowhere. Literally seconds later, I realised that it was USB minidrive, and what a dreadful mistake I'd made!

And then, for another inexplicable reason, I only came up with the bright idea of creating a new partition on it using Windows set-up the other day!


So, all's well and good. Sorry for your time peeps. :)

formated it.

Its not much to delete there only 128mb MAX!!!

So you formated a few month ago, i doubt thats the problem

Try plugging it in to another usb port. possibly if your using a hub it may affect it.

Try other usb devices in your usb port to check that the port is ok.

Do you use windows xp?

And do you require drivers if so try re installing them.

Tried formatting it again? Does it detect the drive when you plug it in? Are there any error messages? Have you even turned your PC on?

A bit more information would be handy. Help us help you.
