D_block Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 now this is my first run it with vista basic , its on a dell machine as i mentioned in the header. the problem is when i inserted my flash the first time i didnt install drivers for it nor did it show up in " my computer " but i plugged my ethernet line into it an b4 long it was installin drivers. what i want to know is, Does vista basic lack this capability of using flash drives by default from the drivers it comes with ?or is it maybe an error with the OS , that it may be broken an operatin incorrectly ?

nitroshift Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The kernel is the same for all versions of Vista, so it *should* see the flash... Maybe there's something wrong with the USB port you plugged it in or the flash itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win98 and WinVista are totally different OSes.I have a Dell E1405 laptop w/ pre-installed Vista home basic edition (now updated to SP1) and connected a 4Gb Sony MicroVault USB Flash drive and the usb flash drive worked flawlessly.
