Please insert disk - what disk!?!

Recommended Posts

I have a problem with a USB flash drive on both Windows 2000 and XP.

 

The device is plug and play. Yesterday I connected it to w2k and the device was recognised as a USB Flash mass storage drive, and a new drive popped up in explorer. I was able to open the drive and read and write data to it.

 

I then unplugged it and plugged it into XP. Different story. It reconised it as a disk drive this time. It automatically installed drivers for it for a USB mass storage disk drive. It pops up in Explorer and when I try to open it the pop-up message says "Please insert disk into drive F:." Except drive F: is a flash drive...

 

I have tried to uninstall the drivers, and re-install to no avail. This device comes up as a disk drive. To make matters worse, when I went back to my W2k, it did exactly the same thing. Where before it recognised the flash drive, it now thinks it's a disk drive, and asks to insert disk. The two machines are not connected to each other in any way.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Regards

VJ
