Trek Technology and IBM began selling the first USB flash drives commercially in 2000.
If you first remove the drive from the PC, you can purchase an adapter which allows you to connect it to a USB port on your PC and read the contents of the drive like you would a USB flash drive. It's referred to as an IDE/SATA to USB adapter.
No you can not use a normal usb drive to jailbreak the ps3 because the usb drives sold as a "mod chip usb" contain a micro processor used to automatically run the files loaded onto it when you turn on the ps3 and quickly press the eject button.
To copy a USB flash drive to another USB flash drive on a Mac, first, insert both USB drives into the computer. Open "Disk Utility" (found in Applications > Utilities), select the source USB drive, and click "Restore." Drag the source USB drive to the "Source" field and the destination USB drive to the "Destination" field, then click "Restore" to complete the copying process. Ensure you back up any important data before proceeding, as this will erase the destination drive.
There is no place to buy a USB recovery program. You need to first purchase a USB flash drive (these are relatively inexpensive), then you need to put the recovery program on the USB (such as a Windows recovery), You will then have a recovery program on a USB.
I don't believe you can recover a file from a USB drive if you don't have the USB drive. I keep backups of the files.
Sometimes USB drives are not fully recognized by a computer. First, check under My Computer. If the drive letter shows, try stopping the drive first. If no drive letter is there, you can safely unplug the USB cord, wait a minute or two, and plug it back in. Let the USB drive run through, do not hit cancel. If it never recognizes, you may need to restart your computer with the USB cord not attached, and once Windows finishes loading, plug in the drive and try again.
the first "pen" or "flash" drive was made in 1987.
Trek in 1998.
Assuming your Compaq laptop has a USB port or two, just plug in the new drive with the USB cable. It will show up as another drive, using the first available drive letter, in Windows Explorer (or equivalent).
The USB Flash Drive was introduced in 1996 and invented by Dov Moran while he was working for M-Systems.
