This is a title which often appears in the Windows operating system that describes a class of device . It most often appears in the lower right corner of the screen when you connect a flash drive, mp3 player, or memory card to your computer. Basically, a "USB mass storage device" is a "Device" which connects through a "USB" port and "stores massive" amounts of memory.

Can you convert usb 1.0 to usb 2.0?

USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 are similar but USB 2.0 provides for a much faster data transfer rate. The USB 1.0 specification operates at 12Mbit/s and the USB 2.0 specification operates at 480Mbits/s Although a 1.0 device cannot operate at 2.0 speeds, the two are compatible. Connecting a USB 1.0 device to a USB 2.0 port or connecting a USB 2.0 device to a USB 1.0 port are both possible. Any device, port or hub that is a 1.0 standard will reduce the data rate to the 1.0 standard. The USB 2.0 specification was adopted in 2001 and most USB devices now conform to the later standard. Older computers may have USB 1.0 ports fitted but will still operate without problems for most applications.

When you have a problem with a USB device What is the simplest way to determine that the USB device is not causing problems?

Check that the usb device is functional in the Device Manager, Some USB devices don't appear in Device Manager use the utility program that came bundled with the device to check for errors. No. Plug the device into another USB port. If it does not work after you have plugged it into all USB ports on the computer then you know that your device is not working.

How do you accses a saved file that you have put on your usb mass storage device for the xbox 360?

Short answer: you don't. The USB mass storage device can only be used to access pictures (at least as far as I have been able to use one). Long Answer: Don't know how you got a save game file onto the USB device, if it was from a PC then you won't be able to access the file from the XBOX 360 as the two have different file types for games.
