flash drive no longer detected
My flash drive (Memorex) is no longer detected when I insert it into the USB
drive of my desktop (WinXP pro SP2). It works fine with my laptop, but does not even detect on the desktop. I tried other USB memory devices with the desktop and they work fine - so it's not the USB port. I tried the flash drive on other computers and they all detect/read/write to it fine - so it's not the flash drive. OK... it's GOT to be one or the other - any suggestions or ideas??

Gotta be a marginal USB port on the desktop, likely the voltage. And that flash drive is more sensitive to that than the others are. You'll likely find that the Memorex will work on a powered hub or another port on the desktop.

Specifically the Smartmedia card reader that plugs into the same USB port that fails to read the Memorex flashdrive.

Not so odd if the Memorex is particularly sensitive to the 5V level. Specifically the Smartmedia card reader that plugs into the same USB port that fails to read the Memorex flashdrive.

That was explained to you just 2 lines ago. Specifically the Smartmedia card reader that plugs into the same USB port that fails to read the Memorex flashdrive.
