I used it in school pc then pulled it out (without ejecting properly) to insert and use in another pc but after returning to my original pc it can no longer be read or used :( i dont want to format but what else can i do?
Which operating system ? 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 select the sharing tab option then advanced sharing make sure you have a tick in the share this folder box then click permissions make sure you have all 3 boxes ticked full control changes and read in windows 7 Right click on usb drive select properties you will have an array of options Select the hardware option then select your drive properties policies restore defaults In XP you might have to alternate doing this repeatedly until the problem is resolved hope this helps
if you can now see your Kingston data traveller
click start click to open on my computer you should see your usb drive could be E: or something right click select properties there will be an array of options
click start control panel administrative tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes
automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now start
you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive
then you restore it to its default status
Right click on your drive select properties then on customize restore Default in W 7
click start control panel scroll to folder options view place a tick in show hidden files folders and drives
this may vary depending on your operating system
