ED_Sln Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Are other USB devices working? When you connect a USB flash drive, does something appear in the device manager? 1
legacyfan Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) no it does not appear in device manager and it does not show it installing the flash drive drivers The other usb devices are working fine but my flash drives refuse to work Edited February 22, 2021 by VistaEX
ED_Sln Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Where do you connect the flash drive? If into the front panel, try plugging directly into the motherboard at the back. 1
legacyfan Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) i have a e6430 and the plugs on it are on the side of it Edited February 22, 2021 by VistaEX
ED_Sln Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Oh, this is a laptop. Then check if the flash drives are detected by the BIOS. Or boot from the LiveCD and check there. 1
legacyfan Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 i tryed to reset the bios also and that didint fix the problem
ED_Sln Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 No, I'm not talking about resetting the BIOS. Are flash drives detected in the BIOS? There may be a problem with the USB voltage, so the flash drives do not have enough voltage, and this is already a hardware problem. To exclude this, and you need to check in the BIOS or LiveCD. 1
legacyfan Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 i will check that and be right back
Micro-Scopic Soft-ware Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 has we need to know if USB is even detected by PC itself before blaming XP 1
