Hi, 1. Connect your pen drive to some other USB ports present at the rear side of your desktop pc. 2. In case of laptop, try connecting to some other available usb ports and check 3. In still not detected, then test your pen drive in some other systems. 4. If still not working, then it implies that your pen drive got detects. 5. If your pen drive is original kingston then you can claim the warranty from the place where you got it.
There are two most common causes of Pen Drive not working
1) The usb port You are connecting it has not enough power output to operate the pendrive (many older computers and laptops have this issue) solution buy an powered USB HUB one with a power adapter You put in a wall socket and then connect Your Pen Drive thruu this hub
2) Operating system lacks drivers for Your particular Pen (windows up to Millenium lack proper usb support and newer I mean XP Vista? (Not sure bout this last one) need administrative privileges to recognise some Pen Drive for the first time or even a driver diskette (some very rare cases).
I am having 64 gb kingston pen drive.
But after formatting from command promt its file system is RAW an i cannot use the drive now.
Beacuse it is showing properties as 0 bytes.
The drive cannot be formatted.
try to put it in another computer..if it is recognized,then the usb version of your laptop differs from the sticks version..if not...means that the memory stick is damaged.. good luck bye
