None of the computers detect my KingMax Usb. It was working perfectly, but then I lent it to a friend, and it does not work anymore. It is a very small usb (http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/kingmax-unveils-worlds-smallest-usb-flash-drive/). It is perfectly clean. However, none of the computers recognize it. PLEASE HELP!!!
Your friend likely pulled the device while it was updating the index without "ejecting" it. We all do it, but it can lead to this often fatal problem. Right clicking on the drive, you'll see an option: "EJECT". This doesn't physically send the drive sailing across the room, it simply should be called:
"Shut Down External Media For Safe Removal".
When not done, this can cause the index to fail, and as a result, when re-inserted it basically shows as a drive with no information. No index, no way to tell what's on it, how much space is available, etc. It will usually recognize that the drive is connected, but won't respond.
To the computer, it a 'Schrodinger's Cat'.
It's both full and empty simultaneously.
Sometimes if you plug it back into the computer that it was in when the failure first occurred, THEN powering the computer on, it MIGHT still have a copy of the index file and MIGHT reload it. Otherwise, there are programs that can recover the data without indexing, but it's a chore to reconstruct the files. Data reconstruction and recovery services can work, but are really expensive. What's the data worth to you is what you need to ask yourself. EJECT your media!! This happens all too often!
(If the item that the media is plugged in to doesn't have an eject feature (such as a music player), shut down the item before removing the media)

Well, I am not sure about Hp photosmart, But most printers, Like all hard drives, you must install a CD-Rom disk in order to do this, I see that your CD-DVD-Drive was not working also, It should've came with a disk to install it on probably floppy, or your old driver, Hope this helps.

Check it another computer. If drive is still powerless, then you most likely have a failed flash drive.

ok, to all the RCA people with Pearl MP3's...
If you have the "can not connect" or "corrupted files" errors upon connecting the USB, please do the following *note: you will loose your songs and data.
Corrupt files:
Plug in your MP3 via the USB, go to "Start Menu", choose "My Computer" select the drive where your Pearl is, and Right click, (you may need to wait a few mins and let it find it ~1-3 mins), when the menu pops up, choose "Format".
(again, this may take a little bit ~1-3 mins)
then go to http://www.rcapearl.com/download.aspx and download the firmware. install it and follow the directions EXACTLY as written.
remove your MP3 and reboot. (NOTE: DO NOT DO THIS WHEN PROMPTED BY THE COMPUTER DURING THE FIRMWARE FLASHING... ONLY AFTER YOU ARE DONE!)
Now you can reinstall your songs and continue to use the drive.
the RCA unit is cheap. you paid for a cheap unit, you got one. To prevent this from hapening again, you can choose the "Safely Remove Hardware" Icon from your system tray (lower right hand corner, next to your clock). The corrupt files are files which are left behind by trying to use a resource file in your computer. If you break this connection before the files are transfered back, you have part of a file... I.e. Corrupt.
--OTHER NOTES--
Player turns off automatically:
This is a feature in the MP3 player. go to the "My Settings" in the MP3, and set the power saver feature to NONE.
Songs skip or sound bad:
ALL MP3's have issues like this. if the music file is bad, then the MP3 will either skip it, or try to play it.... horribly. To fix this, simply find a better version of the file.
Good luck and enjoy.
P.S. - If you want better user performance from a MP3 player, then shell out a little more green for a good reliable one.
