    does windows see it when you plug it in.
  • no there is nothing, I have tried it on my pc and laptop and nothing doing
  • This happenned with my data pen, also 2gb, sadly I had to send it back and it was replaced - mine was a datawrite
  • Pulling it out too early (in the middle of a write) can cause this, flash drives are not the best place to store masters of anything for this reason (and they are also quite easy to lose). Suggest you backup to multiple CD's in future.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
