Can't get USB flash drive to be recognized
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2009 4:58 am
Hi,
I have two different USB flash drives. One is 2 GB and the other is 256 MB. Both are formatted with FAT16. DOSDRIVE does not seem to be able to pick up either of them.
I ran "USBUHCIL" which told me there was another USB controller in operation (which is news to me; I certainly didn't install one) and asked if I wanted to halt its operation in favor of USBUHCIL. I said yes and then ran USBDRIVE.
While USBDRIVE did not report any errors when I ran it, whenever I tried to access any of the "drives" it created, DOS simply responded with "Not ready reading drive" and "current drive is no longer valid>". It did not matter which of the new drive letters I used or which USB slot I used or which flash drive was plugged in.
Am I doing something wrong, missing a step perhaps?
Thanks
