Depends. Did you have My Computer pulled up the moment you plugged in the USB? If so, close the program, wait a couple of minutes, then try to access the device again. If it still does not show, then you have a faulty USB device and you will need to buy a new one.
UPDATE: do you all think this would work to connect the external hard drive to a router that doesn't have a USB port (like the one i have) http://www.walmart.com/ip/TRENDnet-TU-ET100C-USB-to-Fast-Ethernet-Adapter/13214825?wmlspartner=GPA&sourceid=44444444440281732250
This is not a backup drive, its a USB hub. Its designed to add more USB ports when you do not have enough for all of your devices.
"No, an Ion USB Turntable is unable to plug into to All computers. Older computers that do not have a USB port are unable to allow for the Turntable to be plugged into it."
Yes, but you must copy ALL of the files from the disc to a USB thumbdrive and install it through a USB drive. If you don't have a USB drive, then you cannot install it.
In device manager browse under Universal Serial Bus controllers. There all the USP ports are listed.
the problem is that your hub or big white funkey is plugged in to a different usb spot. on funkeys they must be plugged into the one it was installed in.if you cant remember try all of them
you can find all the usb attached to linux by lsusbcommand in terminal !
Yes, there are quite a few different names: Thumb Drive Flash Drive USB Drive Stick Drive Pen Drive Memory Stick All are essentially USB Flash Drives.
Yes: All USB ports work the same way.
To clear your USB drive, first, connect it to your computer. On Windows, open File Explorer, right-click the USB drive, and select "Format" to erase all data and reset the drive. For macOS, open Disk Utility, select the USB drive, and choose "Erase" to wipe it clean. Make sure to back up any important files before proceeding, as this process will permanently delete all data on the drive.
Well first off you need a pen drive that has enough space to hold the entire install disk then you will need to set your bios to boot from whatever drive letter your pen drive will be plugged into. Double click on your my computer icon with your pen drive plugged in and check the drive letter it was assigned, that will be the letter you will have to change your boot up drive to in your bios. I would be sure to keep your CD drive as at least the second boot up drive just in case you run into any other problems. I have personally never tried this and wouldn't recommend it because I am concerned that when you wipe the hard drive to install the new operating system you will most likely lose the driver that controls your usb ports and the pen drive wont work. If at all possible i would use the CD to install your operating system!
There is no difference. Flash drive, pen drive, and thumb drive are all interchangeable terms.
