This is caused by a flaw in WindowsXP. Note this is only for XP and does not apply to Windows98. WindowXP ignores mapped drives and assigns F to the flash device which is already assigned to the network. This causes both the flash device and the network to fail. To remedy the situation you need to remap the flash device.
Right click on My Computer
Choose Manage from the menu
Double click on Storage in the right window pane
Double click on Disk Management(Local) in the right window pane
Find the USB device you have installed and right click
Choose Change Drive Letter and Paths from the menu
Click the Change button and pick a drive letter that is not in use (S and R and good choices)
Click OK and exit the Disk Management program
You have have to do this only once per device per port. This means if you plug the same device into 3 different USB ports you will have to remap 3 times. Windows will remember the device settings after you set the drive letter once.

∙ 12y agoeither the flash drive is corrupt or the USB port is bad. try a different USB port. If that does not work, try a different computer. If the other port or computer works, then it is a problem with your USB port. If it cannot be read in either computer, then either a part of the USB drive is broken in the hardware, or your USB drive is corrupt and you need to reformat it.

My friends flash drive is 2 terabytes and it wont configure to the new xbox how can I get it to configure?
your friends flash drive is not 2tb. more likely it is a 2 gig flash drive, and i would imagine the xbox doesnt like the format of the drive. try hooking it up to a laptop and formatting the flash drive. fat32 or ntfs will work. good luck.

download the software on a different computer, save it to a flash drive or CD/DVD, and install it directly from there. This is typical with some of the bad infections, and this will be your only choice, short from reformatting.

you can format your drive from DOS, but once you do that you wont have an operating system and your computer will be useless.
Computer wont recognize more ram?
If you've installed more than 4 gigabytes of memory, you're going to have to upgrade to the 64-bit version of Windows XP to recognize it all. A 32-bit operating system is only able to recognize about 3.4 gigabytes of RAM. The computer, of course, will recognize that memory; and there are products on the market that will let you use the extra memory as a RAM drive. I'm still using the 32-bit version of XP, until I can afford Windows 7, and I have my swap file on the 4.5 GB RAM drive. I notice a substantial increase in speed with programs that do a lot of swapping to the hard drive.
Is a flash drive a good place to store photos for a long time?
no not really but I guess It depeneds on how long you are saving them for. If it's a long time like say six months then I wouldn't use a flash drive. But if its four maybe three weeks than I think that would be ok. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i improve this answer by saying it doesnt depend on the time as much as it does on the way you keep the flash drive since pictures are precious you dont want to lose them so dont put them on a flash drive that you wont care for
