Kingston DT100/2GB Detection and Failure

I have a Kingston DataTraveller100 a.k.a DT100 having a capacity of 2GB.
I used it for a while. Later I connected it with my PC on WinXP it is saying
a USB DISK 30X USB Device...it should had said Kingston Data Traveller 2.0. Now, Detects the drive shows as Removable Disk instead of KINGSTON and displays "Insert a disk into drive".
Please respond. Thank You.

Note: I tried to format it in FAT/FAT32 and even used HP storage Format Utility. Non-Repond.

    PENDRIVE WITHOUT FORMAT and did not see
    4GB DataTraveler Kigston


    It started when I was running a distro by the SLAX Pendrive, and
    withdrew because I wanted to formatarlo by the Ubuntu, after we
    dismantle, both the Linux and the windows no longer recognize as the
    unit.

    On Linux:

    # sudo fdisk-l

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    / dev/sda1 1 1045 8,393,931 27 Unknown
    / dev/sda2 * 1046 19458 147895917 + 7 HPFS or NTFS

    that sda1 and another partition qeu have a backup.

    DataTraveler 2.0 1GB/4GB Flash Drive / Patriot xport 4GB Flash Drive


    -This and only sign of life in Ubuntu, the German who always appears
    another unit "USB Disk" but it gives no information other than when
    there is no disc. And when I try to mount always says that does not
    exist, already tried with all sdb and so on.

    In Window $


    He called and a new driver with the name "USB Disk 30x USB DEVICE", the
    icon appears in Removable Disk, but when I click seeks to put some
    Pendrive! I tried the manager of records, the My Computer but it
    appears it and neither can any function. Tested these several
    applications for the recovery of Pendrive such as hp, but identifies no!

MEMORY CARD NOT SHOW........?

Hi. Nokia 3110 uses microSD card up to 2GB only. Please check the size/capacity of your memory card and make sure it is 2GB or lower. Higher capacity will not be recognized.

If your memory card is below 2GB, remove the card from your phone and use a card reader to connect that to any computer and see if you can see the drive. If your memory card appears in the computer but not on your phone, you may have a bad slot but if card did not appear in your computer, you may have to consider replacing the memory.

Good luck.

I made partition in my Kingston 4 GB USB and one of the partition is not opening. I want to delete partitions to get my 4 GB capacity back.

Probably best to copy all files off and reformat it.
It would have made more sense to use folders and not partitions.
You may not be able delete the partition if you cant open it.
Does it show up in disk manager?

Amazing Pendrive problem

when its loaded into the memory card slot or however you have it attached to your computer right click on the assigned driver letter --> properties --> tools --> scan disk or check disk and see if it comes up with any issues

Also if this is a new memory card get a replacement that or if its too old then buy a new one

4 MB Data Traveler freezes my computer

Hi lassiebee,

Try the USB drive in other USB ports on the computer. Are you using a USB mouse and USB keyboard?
