Windows does not recognize USB flash drive

by clairienz . Updated 14 years, 4 months ago

Hello,
My USB flash drive is not working when I plug it in. It appears that Windows recognized the device because it can be found in the Explorer window, but if I want to create a folder or file on the USB flash drive I receive the following message:
“Could not find this item
This is no longer located in <%3 NULL:OpText>. Verify the items location and try again.”
Also the files which are copied on to the USB flash drive are not visible in Explorer and looks like the drive is empty.

I want to emphasize that the same USB flash disk (Kingston) is working perfectly under Windows XP operating system on other computer so it can not be a problem with the device. Also the same issue appears when using another USB flash drive (other manufacturer).

Thank you!
