i think your problem is that you r not logged in as administrator ....or its a normal windows error ..you know they do come once in a while ..\ntry this go to command prompt and try to format it \ntype FORMAT:E.G.F (whatever drive letter its assigned )\nand press enter \nit will tell u "insert disk and press enter"\npress enter again and it will start to format it \ngood luck

You can format by using a widoows startup disc. Or simply right click on the drve icon and select format action.  I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.Some RAM/ hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

if your mother board supports usb then get a usb 2.0 drive\n\nand install it in the socket where your usb1.0 was fixed

Check disk or any other kind of program uses the os for reading data from the disk and "please insert disk " message is coming just because of either window can't identify u r disk because it is corrupted or because proper drivers for usb disk is not loaded(there is no need for a driver software for usb drives if u are using win XP+service pack 2 since it automatically identifies the disk as another removable storage).I think u r problem will be related to corruption of disk due to static charge or something since u were loosing data for aperiod of time and then it became inaccessible.

Then your disk is probably corrupted. As in something inside the thing has broke and Windows can't access the thing properly. You might need to replace the flash mem card.

Reinstall the driver.\n\nPress {Windows Key} + Pause Break  -> go to Hardware --> Device Manager --> and look under Univeral Serial Bus controllers.  There might be a yellow exclamation mark labled by the USB port if there is a conflict.  Uninstall the USB driver and restart Windows.  Windows, upon rebooting, should reinstall the drivers for you.

a) perhaps your device cannot be supported by your windows operating system. For example: my Camera is not being reconized via usb plug and play.\nSolution: your device should be installed manually with its installation cd. ( ehat ofcourse you can get it from itsbrand's website)\n\nb) your usb ports are messed up by windows\nsolution: the best way is to reinstall your windows.

you dont really need drivers in windows for a cd drive...  Are you sure the drive is working? Perhaps try it on another computer...

Make sure the internal connections are still there, and then reinstall the drivers.\n\nmaybe its just busted.

Did you run the External Hard Drive Setup Wizard?\nIs the Hard Drive Formatted?\n\nExternal USB drives come with a setup CD that you should run on the PC you are connecting it to. This will allow you to format or setup the drive for use.

Did you have a floppy disk inserted or usb thumdrive / hdd attached to your PC's USB ports?\nRemove those one by one and see which one of them cause the problem... start with the floppy...

you may want to try plugging it into a different USB port. or If it is not powered by the port, make sure the outlet its plugged into is working

Your best bet is to go to http://www.driverguide.com and look for a new printer driver.  They are broken down by model and OS.  Be sure to pick the highest rated one you can find.  Also you should check the description to see if it says USB or not.  Hope this helps

all you have to do is hook it up to your computer through the usb port and open up the settings menu and reformat option should be there. Make sure you use the right setting while you reformat it.
