Relating to imation flash drive

Asked Mar 23, 2007, 04:17 PM — 1 Answer
Dear sir,
I have problem with my imation flash drive. Whenever I insert my flash drive in any computer the computer shows that the disk is working properly and the usb port are also working properly. But when I try to access the documents in the flash drive by clicking open or explore, the message appears:
Insert disk drive.
When I scan it, it shows the no. Of file in the flash drive.

The problem appeared after I scanned it with kaspersky antivirus and it throws host.exe file and some infected file.

Waiting for your positive consideration and call.

Sincerely yours,
Rajesh chaudhary

Insert the USB key, and type diskmgmt.msc at the RUN prompt to bring up Disk management.

Your flash key should show up as a removable disk. What does it say?

You should be able to check the properties of the flash drive, and under the "Tools" tab, run an error checking scan making sure to check the box for fixing errors.

Your last resort would be to reformat it.
