I can't find the files I stored on a Nexxtech flash drive. Windows explorer doesn't show any files on the removable disk, but it shows that 2 GBs of file storage is used. I checked the drive for problems and it didn't report any. How can I retrieve my files?

Files on a flash drive canbe corrupted if it is not removed from the USB port properly.
Before removing the flash drive click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon andthen click on the flash drive you want to remove and then remove the flashdrive when the computer message says it is Safe to remove.
To restore the flash drive to working order you need to format the flash drive,BUT you will lose the data stored on the flash drive.
If you need the data on the flash drive these WEB sites may help: -

Click the View tab.
3.

I can't find the files I stored on a Nexxtech flash drive. Windows explorer doesn't show any files on the removable disk but it shows that 2 gbs of file storage is used. I checked the drive for problems...

If i am right, your Flash is infected by virus and so files or folders are hidden, to unhide the hidden files and folders, you need to do a little trick or simple as the settings. Here we go.. Insert the flash drive - Open it in Windows Explorer - Click on the Tools on the Menu - Select Folder options - Click on the View Tab - next scroll down and select the Show Hidden Files - and again just below the show hidden files, you will see another option which is checked Hide Protected Operating Files, uncheck it and click yes. Hope this will help you, if you can follow this tip, please refer to my tip Show Hidden Files and Folder_1. Good luck..

I put the flashdrive into the port but I do not understand how to get the work onto the drive? It said that I connected it right but it did not show me how to copy or download work onto the flashdrive.

A flashdrive shows up in Windows as a new drive letter un Windows Explorer.
If you right click on My Computer (XP), Computer (Windows 7) you can select explore or open.
The dialog box that opens is split in half. the left side shows the "drives" and corresponding letters. Typically, you will have a Local C:\ for your Primary hard drive, CD Drive D:\ for a CD/DVD and the flash drive will show as Removable Drive E:.
To copy work to the new flash drive, you can select save as from your program and select the drive letter that you saw the removable drive named in Windows explorer.

You can also, from the folder named My Documents, copy the file by right clicking on it, then selecting the flash drive letter and pasting into the empty window associated with it on the right side of the divided Windows Explorer screen.

How to use a flash drive

It doesn't matter to which USB port you connect the flash stick.
It should appear as an additional disk in My Computer, with a total capacity close to the rated one. To identify which drive letter is it, observe the open My Computer window and plug (or unplug) the stick - it will be the drive that appears (or disappears respectively) from the screen.

How to use it? I prefer not to use any special backup software, which I find not very intuitive. I just make folders that make sense for me, and copy the files (that I want to back up or transfer to some other location) to these folders.
