My computer does not detect pen drives and other USB devices like iPod or external hard drive

Any More Tricks Up Your Sleeve? The Driver Letter Change And The Registry Removal Didn’t Work.

[...] Computer Does Not Detect Pen Drive or USB Drive or i-pod : This kind of problem is faced due to some bad registry settings. After you fix up the registry, the USB drive will work fine. To fix this issue, see this post. [...]

It seems that this trick doesn’t work for me. I have received an error when I tried to delete the registry subkey. How to obtain permissions to edit the subkey?

sir, my pen drive is not working properly.

it is saying a warning to insert in the disk x:

please try to give me a solution sir.

this is my mail adress. sandy8m@gmail.com

Anyone getting this message “please insert drive” has probably got a dead eeprom on the datapen, they have limited life spans (only so many read/writes) nothing will fix that.

malfunctioned is sometimes other usb devices stopping the pen working or a USB2 device plugged into an old USB port (1.1).
