July 5, 200719 yr Suddenly my working 1GB kingston pen-drive is not working fine. When i inserted my pendrive to my friend's computer it says, unknown drive detected but before this it used to show that Kingston.drive in my computer is also not displayed.Is my pen-drive is expired? I bought it 7 months ago.
July 5, 200719 yr Looks like it burned up.Most of the time it´s b/c of static energy, so when you rub it in your pocket or connect it to a computer while you or the computer is "loaded" then you could damage the pendrive. Next time touch the computer first (Tip for every one who uses one).It could have been a bad one as well, it has 5 years warranty so get a new one.Don´t ask us if you can recover the files, you simply can´t...

July 6, 200719 yr Next time touch the computer first (Tip for every one who uses one).Just a small correction :Next time touch a metallic part of the computer case first, if it is a desktop PC (and thus it is grounded), if it is a laptop (which is NOT grounded) touch any metallic part that is grounded you find around you, such as a handrail or a radiator or a massive metal object, such as a steel file cabinet.jaclaz
