    I have a USB flash drive it is an MEMOREX 1GB Travel Drive and I can not get XP to see it for nothing I have tried changing the drive letters on my other drives and also bought a PCI card and it still will not see it. I have a Chaintech VNF3-250motherboard and am starting to think that is my problem? When I try to install drivers for it, it tells me that there was a problem installing. I didn't think you really needed any drivers for a USB flash drive? If anyone can help me with this problem I would very much appreciate it. I need this drive for schoolwork!
    Thank you,

    Perhaps you need to check and see if your USB ports are working. Look in Device Manager.

    This might be it:

    My other suggestion would be to reformat the drive on another Win XP computer. Choose FAT32, but you could also try the FAT file system.
