How do you force a flash drive to mount as a rmvbl disk in XP (if it rcgnizes the drive but won't mount it)?

sounds like an un usual issue you have there, have you got USB enabled all the way in the bios ie usb keyboard, usb mouse as enabled and usb enabled ?\n\nAlso www.usbman.com have a very good FAQ which would defintly be worth while checking out. Also if you right click my computer --> manage --> disk management ( that is how I am assuming you are deciphering if it detects it or not ? ) As for not mounting it, have you formatted the disk  / memory stick or whatever it is ?

First you need to learn to give more details.\n\nYOu need to establish where exactly the problem is. If we are refering to a flash drive and it doesn't work in your pc but works in another. Then it not the flash drive but your driver or port.\n\nIf you are using windows 98 try re-sinstalling the driver for the flash drive as well as the usb ports.\n\nWindows XP has drivers built in for most USB Flash drivers and Ports. YOu might however need an update for your USB port if you aren't running windows XP service pack 1 or 2.\n\nif your flash drive isn't recognised by any pc then it is stuffed. It has happened too me and the manufacturer wouldn't recover the information for me. If it's under warrenty return it to where you bought it and let then advice you. IF the drive is damaged but the memory is good ou would need to remove the flash chip and have it inserted onto a board of the same model, but that's risky and most likely could only be done by a data recovery proffessional, electronics expert or the factory (if it is possible to do such a thing).\n\nIf it's just our pc that wont read it, than copy the contents to a cd using someone elses pc, and have the pc fixed.

It should be USB so if you are using Windows XP it will automatically install the correct drivers. If you have any other O/S you will need to use the driver CD that came with the drive.

Two suggestions to try\n1)contact the manufacturer\n\n2)If there is not a write protect tab - If you are using Win XP - Right Click My Computer and select Properties - then Hardware tab - then Device Manager\nLook for the entry for your usb drive delete it. Then let XP find it and reinstall it again.

You cant do it that way.  You need to install XP on that computer.  There are drivers that will not match up.  There is no real way around it.\n\nI am sorry, I misread you question.  Are you trying to install an upgrade version of Xp or a Full version?  When you said it failed, what is failing?  Are you getting any errors?  Does your computer meet the minimum requirements?

Try using ScanDisk if you using Windows 98/Me.  I don't think that tool is available for Windows XP.  Try accessing the drive on another PC.  If the jump drive came with drivers (especially for Windows 98) try reinstalling them.\n\nIf these steps don't work, probably you won't be able to access it anymore.

You did not state if it was XP Professional or Home you are using, so I included both link to create a bootable floppy.\nYou did not mention if you had a floppy on not.

Can it be done.. Yes.. Recommended.. NO..\n\nI'm assuming Windows XP.  If you want to do this, the second drive can be assigned to a mount point so it appears to be part of the first drive.  For details read:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/dm_modify_access_path.mspx?mfr=true

It sounds like your floppy disk drive is bad.  If you have another disk drive to swap it out with you'll know if that's the problem or not. XP should find it with no problem.\n\nOf course you may have just gotten a load of bad floppies, they are not making them very well now. Flash drives, thumb drives, whatever you want to call them have petty much taken over.\n\nHope it helps

First of al U need to check which OS U r using.....\nIf it;s XP then U need no drivers for using the drive:but if it;'s 98 then u need to instal the driver software first.\nNow u can plug in the drive, into the USB slot of U;r PC.\nnow in the system tray it will show the device if U;r PC has detected it.\nnow when U open My Computer, U'll see the icon;double click on it and transfer files into it.\nU cannot transfer program from one PC to another unless U have the setup file for tht program(ie an exe file).\nIf U have the setup file then transfer tht to U'r USB drive as said earlier; then U can plugin to the new PC and install tht program in it.\nTht's it.

First make sure the driver disk isn't damaged. Easiest way to do that would be to put it in another pc and make sure it can be read, and the files are intact. If it's damaged, you'll need a new disk, of course. I'm sure you can download the drivers from toshiba. Also, have you tried installing without the drivers? Xp is usually pretty good about having scsi and raid drivers pre-packaged. If you can load up without them you can at least get the machine up and running so you can find out if the drive is working or not. \n\nEdit: There is a slight chance you may have accidentally disabled your floppy drive in the bios at some point. Go into you bios and make sure it doesn't say something like: Floppy drive A: Disabled. Change it back if it does.

Use the Disk-Management snap in.\n\nIf that doesn't work do this:\n\n\nThe following method involves some risks (as is the case with all modifications done to the registry) but if you know what you are doing I'd say your chances of messing it up are close to null.\n\n   1. Log on as an Administrator.\n   2. Start Regedt32.exe.\n   3. Go to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;MountedDevices\n   4. Click MountedDevices.\n   5. On the Security menu, click Permissions.\n   6. Verify that Administrators have full control. Change this back when you are finished with these steps.\n   7. Quit Regedt32.exe, and then start Regedit.exe.\n   8. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;MountedDevices\n   9. Find the drive letter you want to change to (new). Look for "&#92;DosDevices&#92;C:".\n  10. Right-click &#92;DosDevices&#92;C:, and then click Rename. Note You must use Regedit instead of Regedt32 to rename this registry key.\n  11. Rename it to an unused drive letter "&#92;DosDevices&#92;Z:". This frees up drive letter C.\n  12. Find the drive letter you want changed. Look for "&#92;DosDevices&#92;D:".\n  13. Right-click &#92;DosDevices&#92;D:, and then click Rename.\n  14. Rename it to the appropriate (new) drive letter "&#92;DosDevices&#92;C:".\n  15. Click the value for &#92;DosDevices&#92;Z:, click Rename, and then name it back to "&#92;DosDevices&#92;D:".\n  16. Quit Regedit, and then start Regedt32.\n  17. Change the permissions back to the previous setting for Administrators (this should probably be Read Only).\n  18. Restart the computer.

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.
