How can I fix my USB?

If you are talking about a specific USB pen drive then format it, and try using it on another computer. If that fails then the pen drive is dead. This happens after a certain amount of read/writes.\nIf that works then windows is acting up. Get hold of service pack 2 and install it, even if you already have. This replaces all the USB drivers.

Sounds mostly like you will have to flash the bios and/or update it. After wards try it again, it should work fine. Also, I read that someone told you there could be a problem with your USB; THEY'RE WRONG! That will not cause your PC to shut down, it will simply not work properly or not work at all. Good luck.

did you try in any other PC, if its showing same error than usb drive must be having some hardware problem. try to install manually if you are using win98 bcoz it doesnt support plug and play.\n\ncheck the lock unlock key, ( some usb drive comes with lock unlock.)\n\nlet me know if you have any further question.

There's several things I can suggest. First, you're USB ports not working may be because they are disabled in your motherboard's setup. (Reached usually be pressing the Del key while your pc is booting up.) If not, have you tried uninstalling all USB drivers before installing the new ones? I have an e-machines too, and it just may be that the download doesn't contain all the files you need.

If you've tried it on a known working USB port (be sure to try more than one, and try a different computer) and it doesn't work, then you're probably stuck.  Those thumb drives are pretty inexpensive and manufacturers will merely replace them if the fault is found to be a defect and not user error/abuse.\n\nDid you happen to remove it without using the Safe Removal method from the systray?  That can cause it to go wonky.

If it's not working on ANY computer, as you stated, then it's most likely damaged.  It can be repaired, but flash drives aren't really that expensive.  I suggest replacing it unless there is data on it that you absolutely must try to retrieve.

When the plugs were pulled out while the computer was still on, it sent a message saying there's something wrong, but the computer just couldn't figure out what it was. The yellow circle with the black exclamation point backs up this assumption. \n\nThe USB ports won't be listed in My Computer but should be found in Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. \n\nTo fix this problem you will first need to have the installation disks for both the printer and the CD nearby. Also make sure you know where your winME disk is just in case the computer needs different drivers. \n\nThen, you will need to uninstall each device. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel. Double click on Add/Remove programs and uninstall both the printer and the CD. When you've done that, restart the computer. (At this point, I would also run the disk defragmenter since you've just deleted a lot of files) \n\nAfter restarting, plug in the external CD (it's OK to plug it in while the computer is on, it's NOT OK to unplug while the computer is on). Have your software ready. Restart the computer and the Found New Hardware wizard should open when windows boots up. Follow the instructions given. If it asks for a place to get the software, click on the Have Disk button. It'll prompt you to install the software. \n\nAfter you reinstall the software for the external CD, restart the computer. Then plug in the printer and follow the same steps as above.

Could be an ill-recognized driver installation. Simply search the NET for the brand of your Memory Stick and install the exact drivers. They are pretty important for correct functionality. If installed the wrong one, it simply could be that, you have already damaged your hardware. But that rare! Windows always recognizes the devices, or it'll simply install a common driver. \n\nStill, there is a but!!! But, if your USB port isn't supported by your Memory stick, then, its a farewell for it.

You could have a short in your USB port.  Try putting other devices in the same port and see if the problem persists.

If it's windows xp, boot with the windows cd and repair windows. Or uninstall all the device drivers and reinstall them.

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.

Reformat the hard disk again. I think it should solve your problem.
