Convert the dates to Julian format using the online Naval Observatory calculator. Subtract and divide by 7. Round up. 2456880.5 minus 2455616.5 = 1264 days or 180.57 weeks. Use 181

Get data back is a file recovery program for flash drives, it may work for this, but if the files are corrupt you would then be recovering corrupt files.

Try formatting the drive, right click select format, and you can also try system tools and scan drive for errors. possibly defective.

not sure what sort of problems because you have not stated

click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you could see a yellow question / exclamation mark? ! or a red X

you will need to update/reinstall drivers

right click to reinstall drivers

if you can see your usb drive but its not working

ports (com&lpt) right click update driver if this fails to fix the problem

check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red white green black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems for a computer and its parts

if you need more help with this post a reply

hope this helps you

That device uses the standard USB storage driver in Windows. Try the device in a working Windows 7 machine. It will mount or you will see a message about formatting the drive. If it mounts your Vista is corrupted and needs fixing/reloading. If windows 7 wants to reformat the USB device, the USB device is likely corrupted and the data is lost. Or is could have been formatted for a Mac and cannot be read directly on Windows.

PS - $80 for a 4 gb USB drive is too much in the current market. You should be able to replace it for $10 or less.

try maybe it is bricked or damaged, try downloading Pheonix products which can help u repair any usb damaged storage media, worked on my 8gig usb and nokia n95, or u can try googling flashing utilities for you flash

When you plug in the Flash Drive to your old computer, it will show up in My Computer probably as Removable disk or "Kingston Data Travler". You want to open that link up and drag whatever files you need into that folder. After doing so you put the flash drive in your new computer and repeat the process except you drag the files out of the folder and onto your desktop or a folder of your liking.

The drivers are needed only for windows 98 and back. Xp, mac all do not need drivers for the thumb drives.

May be something else is wrong... mostly software related.

my pen drive not work so i wish to repair my pen drive. how?
