I had problems getting my USB flash drive to eject from my computer. I

ejected it several times and now my computer will not recongnize my USB flash

drive. How do I get it to recognize it now?

Reboot with it already in place.

Is it there?

 

How about when you remove it and put it back in after that (Without 'safely

remove hardware'...)?

I tried both of these and still nothing happens. I have 2 USB ports on the

front of my computer and it acts as if they are not even there. I tried using

by USB drive on my husbands computer and it worked so I know it still works.

I had a similar problem with the USB but in my case when I plugged in a flash

drive it locked up the computer. I knew it wasn't a hardware problem because

some things worked in the USB but other things such as a flash drive or

external hard drive didn't If you don't always "safely remove" the hardware

that you connect to a USB and you just unplug it you can mess up the drivers.

Someone advised me to uninstall all the USB drivers in safe mode then reboot

the computer and let Windows Xp automatically recognize the USBs and it will

reinstall the drivers. After I did that everything worked ok.
