    Hi

    A friend is Running Winxp and lately everytime when he plugs-in any USB drives he can see them in "My Computer" with a letter but when clicks on them he see's the message something like Drive is not formatted would you like format it now?

    I checked the Control Panel but nothing wrong there when drives are on.

    USB mouse works ok so looks like only is Pen Drives.

    Any ideas? checked google but could not see anything about it.

    Thanks

    if it was just one drive then I'd guess that the file index was corrupted by unplugging it before it was "safe to remove"

    Thanks for the reply, it happens to all Pen drives he plug-in, we use 2 today that were never used in that PC and got the same warning when we double click on the letter in My PC
