    I have a usb drive 4gig.
    it stopped working 2 days ago ,when i put it into my pc it says installing driver for 2 minutes ,
    it does not show up in my computer.
    i tried it in 2 pcs.
    If i go to control panel ,system,disk storage management ,it says drive E : no media /
    the only thing i can think of is, i use a live cd.
    linux to see if i can format it or erase the data on it.

    i copied 15 mp3,s on it 3 days ago.
    I,m just curious ,why would it stop working .
    My usb sd card reader works fine in the same pc

    Yeah, try a LiveCD of Linux ...... and see what it shows in a terminal for
    dmesg
    command after plugging in the USB drive.
