Ok, so I got a new flash drive for school, an 8GB SONY Micro Vault. I just took it out of the casing, pop it in my computer, and it starts flashing a little orange led light. Obviously that cant be good and it wasn't. 3 seconds later Windows XP says the USB device cant be recognized! The worst part is it was bought a month ago so the recipts long gone :/

I've tried other computer's to no availl. I even put it inside a Wii and it just flashed.

Plz plz plz help
Thanx everyone!

don't flash drives nowadays have an autoread and auto install that comes with the package? have you tried it on other OS or pc?

Yeah there supposed too, but it doesn't even recognize what it is. Usualy when windows can't find the driver it at least names it some basic category... and I have tried other PC's, but no other OS's. I might try that... Thanx

best advice i can imagine is go onto the sony support website.

check out the following link

if you are not sure contact them via email

Windows can't recognize the flash drive because they have no driver yet for that. If you have driver for that, try to install first. I'm sure there is a cd included for driver when you bought that flash drive.

why u not use others brand. i think windows recognize them

well it is best to ask sony customer service for that query..

I've tried, they don't have any information on it, I called customer service and tehy didn't know what I was talking about :/ I guess I'm just going to have to get a new flash drive :/

I think your USB drive is dead.... simply buy a new one..

Yeah did, same model LOL but I kept the receipt this time
