Lexar 8GB FireFly Stopped working

I used the Lexar FireFly flash drive early in the morning when I went back to retrieve another file, it was no longer recognized by the computer. I tried loading it on several other machines but it's like the flash drive was not plugged in at all.

SOURCE: Lexar 8GB wont work. when i insert it, it shows up

Some computers will not support a large 8GB stick. The best some will do is 2GB, If you are running a computer pre-2001, you may not be able to use the 8GB stick (I have the same problem with my desktop PC). It just is not supported!

Storage issue LEXAR Firefly 4GB

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.

I deleted all the viewable files and folders on my lexar firefly jumpdrive, but it says that i still have almost all my memory used up. how can I clear it?

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!

I dont know how to save a writing piece from the word pad onto the lexar firefly

Open Wordpad, click File-->Save As; type in your desired name for the file and click the pull down arrow near "Save in:". Select the appropriate Drive (G/D,E or whatever) that is your Firefly. Click save. The file should now be saved as a Rich Text Formatted document on your Firefly. You can save it as a Text Document as well under the "Save as type:" option. Good Luck!

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....

What operating system are you using? Should work with XP and Vista. Go to windows explorer and click on C drive, click photos folder, select required photo, click and drag icon to the Firefly icon and release mouse button. File should be copied to jump drive.
