Things to try:\nOpen my computer and look for something called drive E: or F: this might be the flash drive.\n\nEject the USB using the ubplug flash drive. Then\ntry rebooting your computer your drivers may need to reload.  Plug in flash drive and look in My computer for extra drive.\n\nGo to the manufacturers web site and see if your flash drive is supported by Windows ME.

First, check that the device doesn't show up if you put the flash drive in another USB port. If it doesn't, check your 'eject hardware' icon to see if the flash drive is showing there. If it isn't, it sounds as though the drivers and software for your USB are out of date or have been corrupted in some way. This can sometimes happen when you install Windows updates or software that conflicts (upon installation) with your hardware drivers. Check to see if there are up to date drivers for your flash drive on the manufacturer's website. If not, you will need to uninstall the software and reinstall the flash drive again using the original installation disc. \n\nBefore doing this, check Device Manager to see if it is flagging up any conflicts. If everything is okay, remove the flash drive from your USB port. Check your 'add/remove programs' list in Control Panel to see if the software for your flash drive is showing up. If it is, uninstall it. Reboot your computer. Then re-attach your flash drive to your USB port. With a bit of luck, the hardware installation wizard should recognise it as new hardware and open. If it does this, re-install the drivers for your flash drive and you should be away.\n\nIf it doesn't, you may need to do a manual install, although this reduces the chances of the flash drive working.

I am going to give some general things to check as I would need to know more specifics on your system to be exact.\n\nIf you are running an OS older than win 2000 then your flash drive will require drivers, these can be downladed from the manufacturers www site in most cases, once installed the rest of this will apply to those systems as well.\n\nMy first question is this, if your hard drive is full (I am assuming that is what you mean by Memory since that is where Pictures would be stored) then a flash drive of up to 1 gig would seem to me to be insufficient as a means of increasing your storage enough to make much difference, besides which these devices are not intended as a permanant means of storage. You should probably consider getting an external Hard Drive of up to 120 gig.\n\nNow, since the drive is showing as operational you may not be looking for it in the right place. Open My Computer(Double click on it on the desktop or click on it in the Start menu). Once Open in the right side of the screen area you will see all your drives listed, the default view has then seperated into types ie Files Stored on this Computer, Hard Disk Drives, Devices with removable Storage. Your USB Flash drive will be listed under devices with removable storage, if you do not see it immediately look very close it may not have a name that readily identifies it, if after a closer look you still do not see it there look in the Hard Drive section and insure it is not listed there (windows is sometimes not very bright about where it puts things). If you still cannot readily identify it then close My Computer, then disconnect the USB Flash drive, re-open My computer, if a drive that was previously listed is not there now then that is likely the USB flash, now re-connect the USB Flash drive. If you have now identified the drive you are ready to transfer files to it, to do this open the folder where your pictures are, then right click and highlight the files to be transferred, when you release the mouse button a menu will open, select cut, in My Computer right click on the flash drive and select Paste on the menu. Alternatively you can copy and paste the entire folder to the flash drive then delete the files on your hard drive.\n\nAssuming the above did not solve your problem at this point you would need to ensure that the hardware is not malfunctioning. To do this either on the desktop or in the start menu Right click My Computer and select Manage. In the window that opens look down the Left side for Device Manager, Left click on it. In the righ side panel you will see your systems hardware listed, ensure you have now Yellow or red Flags(?? or !!)these indicate a problem. If you see one then double click the device that is flagged and list the information about the problem for more assistance either here or feel free to contact me through my information. If there are no flags look carefully through your device list and ensure that the USB Flash drive is listed, if it is then we need to further explore where it is listed in your drive list if not then you have a hardware issue either with the drive or your USB controller, if you can verify your USB controller is operating by connecting a different USB device that works then you can safely say you have a defective USB Flash drive and should replace it. If you need further assistance please feel free to contact me using my member information (click my name and it will show you how) I would list it here but there seems to be a rule against it.

I believe it's indicating a damaged part of your hard drive.\n\nI would conduct a defragmentation of the drive.\n\nIdeally back up your data and then re-format your hard-drive and start again.  Timely but effective.

Unfortunately it means that your hard disk is dead. Better take the laptop back to the shop. Data is hardly ever recoverable.

it might me the motherboard or the ram. \n\nthe usb is on the motherboard anf you can not just replace the usb on it.\n\nmemory because a memory post beep would be a stedy beep on a laptop.

I thinking it's doing the plug and play thing to get the correct driver, you can follow the prompts and select to find it from the list, but your better off getting it from the desk, it might also want to install the desk settings which you should be able to turn off.

You can try another USB port while the computer is on, and flash drive in the one that is not working now. And are you using the Safely Remove Hardware function? Sans Disk asks that you do. It will be found in your system tray at bottom of screen when you have the drive in the port. It will pop up. Lay your mouse on top to see the Safely Remove Hardware and follow menus.

This usually happens if your external USB device has more capacity and speed than the ones installed on your PC, etc. When the message is displayed, I think you can either select an appropriate port or just cancel the message. I think your device should work fine.

I'd recommend scrapping Millennium, it's junk.\n\nTo answer your question: in the bottom right corner there are some icons and maybe an arrow in a circle "<".  In there you should see something that looks kind of like a removable drive.  Double click on it.  You will open a dialog box asking if you want to stop a removable device.  There are differences between your system and mine, just follow the logical choices and you should be able to successfully stop the device and remove it without risking any problems to the removable device or the computer.\n\nHope this helps.

No.  If there is data on it it is still formatted.  Your best bet is to try it in some other computers.  You might also try some disk recovery utilities to see if they can get what you need.\n\nBottom line though, stop using floppy disks -- they are horribly unreliable and flash drives are really cheap now.

It may be in use by your computer. Ctrl-Alt-Del and see if it's on the list. You could end task then try. But, I'd make sure it isn't a necessary file first.

I've seen this message before and the cause was the cable being used to connect the hard drive to the motherboard.  Try to swap out the cable and see if it works.  \n\nOtherwise, you might have a hard drive problem.

Have you got any data on it that you need to get or is it just a case of its a new memory stick ?\n\nIf the latter then just insert the memory stick into your computer then right click on my computer --> manage --> disk management and it should show up in there, then right click and format it.\n\nIf not then make sure your USB is working and that you have installed drivers for your onboard ( i am assuming ) usb is working , which can generally be gotten by getting the motherboard drivers ( If this is a PCI USB card then install the drivers for the usb pci card.\n\nIf you are trying to use the USB slots at the front of the computer, FORGET those and try one of the USB slots at the back of the computer.\n\nAlso check out the FAQ on www.usbman.com

I just had the same thing happen to me. It was a defective hard drive on my computer causing the issue.....I took it to the Geek Squad for repair....It wasn't an old computer either, 3 months old....Hope this helps!!\n\nGL;)
