Anonymous Posted on Oct 05, 2010

Lexar 8GB wont work. when i insert it, it shows up on my computer as connected but then when i click on the lexar icon to view my files on it, it doesn't open, the message: 'please insert disk into drive F' -- but it is in there! so why isn't any computer letting me access my files, i've only purchased it earlier in the year...can any one also tell what the warranty on a 8GB Lexar usb stick would be please?

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!

    panacam is a loon, who runs anything pre-2001? the answer is simple, some company in RoC flooded the market with these defective usb drives labelled "Lexar" and they did through bulk retailers like walmart. the part number on these things cannot be found not even the fcc code

    Possible problem is 1) the LOCK is activated. This is the small slide on the left of the card. 2) your computer may NOT read the card if it cannot see the new, 8GB SDHC card. These cards have just come out in the last year and not all computers are compatible with this type of card.

My MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 won't read my Lexar Professional 800x 8 GB Compact Flash UDMA 7.

You can try using a file recovery software like Bad Copy Pro 4.10.125. It works well for me.

I have inserted the lexar card reader into the USB drive (wuth memory card) but cannot figure out how to download or even find the pictures.

Go into "My Computer" and locate the card reader drive icon. If it's not there then you need to load its' driver. If it is there, merely double click on it to open the files contained in the card.

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!

Dear dldawson,
Don't Worry.. Just save your file to another media (By Moving it or copy them), and after you sure your files are saved and safe..

Right click on the icon of your Lexar and choose the Format command on the context menu..

Wait until the format complete, do it one more time.

Leave your lexar for 3 days on your dry cupboard. (Do nothing with it) And after 3 days, plug it in to your computer and try to reveal the capacity of your lexar, that is the real numbers, try to make a traffic to your lexar and in and out at the same time.. If the files traffic works fine, you might be happy not to buy the new lexar..

GoodLuck!

Lexar USB

Yes. Connect it to your computer, then click my computer. You will see your drive listed among the hard drives. Make sure you select the right one (it should say removable drive or Lexar USB) right click it & select format. All files are deleted & the drive is reformatted & ready to use.

Lexar LDP-400 MP3 player (128MB capacity

Formatting the Disk maybe solve it. But if the disk itself is working. Go to Start-> Run -> type "cmd" -> format F: then press "y" and another "y" if it asks you again if the system couldn't read the drive itself. Then this means that your storage on the MP3 Player (that shows as F on your computer) is now broken.
