lulumara Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Before you put your stick in the computer check what brand is your stick then go start/computer/look for the brand name of your stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Could be you snapped the connector thus preventing your computer from recognizing the flash drive. Test it on another computer before resorting to more extreme measures. Have you checked Device Manager in the Control Panel to see if there is a problem with your USB ports?
