Hello everyone,

I plugged in my USB drive and transferred a file onto it, then I unplugged it, connected it to another laptop to transfer the file, and when I plugged the drive back into my PC, it was no longer recognized.

I can see it in the device manager, but this message appears when I click on properties:

Windows has stopped this device because it has problems. (Code 43)
The request to reset the USB port failed.


I tried disabling and re-enabling the device but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hi,

    Erase it with Active@ KillDisk Freeware

    http://killdisk.com/killdisk-freeware.htm

    Then, format it immediately with HP USB Disk Storage format Tool

    If you can't do it, I might have another tool in my box.

      The key is not detected at all, so I can't use this software, right?
