341130 2005-04-03 08:55:00 I use XP, I have a hub with a few flash drives in it. My latest purchase was a 256 MB and as usual, plugged it in and XP told me that it had found new hardware but then it tells me that the driver could not be found and the product may not work properly. This never ever happened before. I returned the drive for a replacement but I was told there was nothing wrong with it. Took it to a friends place, plugged it in and it works fine!

I removed all my other flash drives and that made no difference either.

Anyone with any suggestions please?

what brand is it? you will need to download the drivers from the makers website. id say your friends would have the drivers already installed.

341132 2005-04-03 09:01:00 Did u plug it into the USB port itself? To see if it worked?

Not just into the Hub??

Is the drive, the onboard USB and the hub USB 2?

If the onboard USB is USB 2, is SP1 or 2 installed??
