Please show me step by step on using the Lexar 2GB JumpDrive FireFly flash drive. I have an HP computer. I need to back up many photos. I will buy more of the same flash drives if I learn how to use them. Thank you!

Insert the flash drive in a USB slot and see what drive letter gets assigned to it. Right click on the new drive letter and select format from the drop down menu. Follow the directions on the next screen to format the drive.

Yes, it is possible to recover your files from lexar jumpdrive. see this step by step guide

Recover deleted formatted files from Lexar usb drive

you can use it to undelete your files from lexar jumpdrive.

Empty your "Recycle Bin", to permanently detect some "hidden" files on the JumpDrive.

If necessary, try a "quick-Format" to reformat the drive, deleting all "hidden" files.

These drives do die from time to time. If a comp wont see the drive....it's dameged ...sorry. :(

You may have hidden or locked files. If the files are locked, you'll see an icon to unlock them when you open the JumpDrive in Windows Explorer. If the files are hidden, try and show them: Tools-->Folder Options-->View--> Left Click "show hidden files and folders" Good Luck!

If it says that the files are probably gone, sorry. Try using it on a different system, if it says the same thing they are definitely gone. Good luck I hope it works on a different system.

Hi there,

Just install the driver to your computer, you can get it from http://www.lexar.com/drivers/index.html. Installation procedure can can found from http://www.lexar.com/drivers/instruct_win.html. After that, you now use you USB memory card.

do you hear the USB hardware installation tones from windows when you plug in the the drive? If so then you are know the USB port is working. If you do not..try other USB ports. If you hear the noise...Right click on My Computer and click on Manage. Click on Storage and then Disk Management...see if you are having a conflict of drive mappings (i.e. F:/ or E:/)..you can relable the drive letters by right clicking on the drive in the right pane and selecting Change Drive Letter.

If you are using Outlook then you can double click the email so it is in it's own window and you can click File and Save As...
Then drill down to the Flash drive you want to save it to.
you should be able to do the same with Internet Explorer type emails.
