My 4gb flash drive is not working when I put it in any computer and when I insert this it says "device not recognized" is there a solution here please help me im very desperate for my USB because I need it very much.
Your flash drive may be inoperable, but before we say that, let's try a couple of things.
1) Leave the flash drive plugged into a USB port, and reboot your system. Windows will sometimes have difficulty reading devices plugged in after it has launched.
2) Go into System>Device Manager>USB and track down that flash drive (as a device). Delete it from your system. Next time you boot and insert it, Windows will see it as a new device, and walk you through installing it from scratch.
Since the system won't recognize it, then you can't reformat it, so that takes away one good option.
Give those two things a shot, and let me know. Flash drives do go bad (pretty regularly, actually), so in the future, don't store critical information on one. Burn it to CD or DVD instead, and use the flash for simply transferring data from one system to another.
Cheers
