    I have flash disk with GB 4 which I previously use it for storing and accessing data, but for the moment whenever I try to access by clicking it’s drive letter of removable media the message appear "please insert disk into drive Fâ€. I tried to change drive letter and path using disk management tool but still receiving the same message.Please may anyone help how can I recover my data. I am using computer with window XP sp 2.

    I'm guessing that rebooting doesn't help... Did you try ejecting it and re-inserting it?

    Do you have another pc you can try it on?

    Hi Karms, I see you are still running SP2.
    I would sincerely suggest you install SP3 as support for SP2 has ended.
    Sorry to butt in Steve. Cheers Neil.
    Further help from MS in this link re Flash Drive not recognized:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925196
    Let's know if this was your problem.
    It would also help if you Posted your "System Details ". Neil.
