Re: Flash Drive Question.
Open it up and see if theres any broken-off smd parts, or anything else suspicious. I once literally saw one of the two memory chips partially off. Resulting in a 'drive not formatted' cause the first memory chip had the mft an most of the data. Was never able to get it fixed, too smallCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: Flash Drive Question.
Despite that message, is the device still recognised by the OS?Originally posted by rhaivhen View Post
I have a very old USB flash drive that shows that message in Vista when inserted, but it still works perfectly well.________________________________________________

Re: Flash Drive Question.
This message has appeared several times for me over the years. Usually reinserting it fixed it. Have no idea why the message came up to start with.

Re: Flash Drive Question.
In some, the weak point is the soldering of the USB connector to the circuit board.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Re: Flash Drive Question.
Try it on a different computer, could be an OS issue or dirty USB socket contacts. I once had a hub I almost tossed out when all it needed was a bath.Comment
