Tried using usb to seriel adaptor but unable to read while reading 2way radio software. pretty sure its between the usb/adaptor

The drive may have failed. They don't last forever. Try using it in another computer to find out. If it works, you have a problem with your USB port or your PC does not have the required software to read it. Most newer PCs should read it without problem.

Also, the drive could be locked with a password. If you don't have it, you're pretty much screwed.

Is the charge adaptor good? Test with a known good charge adaptor.

Make sure you have the USB device formatted as FAT and not NTFS, it won't read NTFS. Pretty much all car radio/head units are like that. Don't make seperate partictions, just one, it won't read more than one partition. Hope that helps.

Read your Radio and see in option, disable the beep.

You can get universal card adaptors, just make sure its compatible with your memory stick.

You can also get USB adaptors, put you card into the adaptor the plug the adaptor into a PC.

Have a search on ebay, that should give you a few ideas.

Buy an Athen usb-->Rs232 adaptor and install the program.. then go to hardware settings and set that usb port to Serial port 1 (very important)

After that you just start the program, opens your store @ port 1 and programs..

if u have tried different usb ports it may be your computer is lacking the software to run it but the fact the computer is not reading it as anything would lead me to believe the usb port or port your using itself is bad

To adapt a Sidewider Force Feedback Pro Joystick to USB, you have to build this converter found here... http://grendel.koolbear.com/3dpro.htm

IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY. YOU ARE TRYING TO CONNECT BOTH COMPUTERS TO THE ROUTER VIA USB ? IT WOULD BE EASIER YOU CONNECT ONE OF THE SYSTEM USING THE ETHERNET CABLE AND THE OTHER USB. THAT WAY YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO BUY A USB ADAPTORS. AND WHEN YOUR WIFE SYSTEM GETS ONLINE HAVE HER GO TO HP WEBSITE AND UPGRADE HER SYSTEM DRIVERS.
ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN DO THIS IS ONE OF YOU GO WIRELESS. THAT WILL HELP YOU WITH SOME MOBILITY WITH YOUR SYSTEM AND LESS CABLES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR RESULTS ARE

THANK YOU

yes you did! you overstressed the components of the radio plugging a 6V instead of a 3V adapter!
