Evening all. I've been having a small problem with my desktop computer (Optima Pentium 4). When a mp3 player or USB flash drive is attached to any of the USB ports the computer will recognise it is there and a shortcut will appear in the My Computer file, however any attempt to open the device and view the files results in the following message "Please insert a disk into drive: X". I have unistalled and reinstalled the drivers, I have searched for new updates and found none. I have run Ad-Aware and Spy Bot and this has helped slightly. Also when a CD is used the same message is displayed unless the CD was in the computer when it was restarted, in which case the CD will work properly, but no others will do so. The computer will read music cds in WMA format but will not read data of any kind unless the CD was in the drive when the computer was turned on or restarted. I have tried several mp3 players and usb flash drives with the same result. All of which work fine in other computers.
Any help would be much appreciated as I dont particularily want to reformat the harddrive. Cheers |

Sounds like a Windows problem.

I take it that it is a new one, so you could try a system restore that will roll your computer back a week or so. If you can go back past when the problem started, you may be sorted. To do a system restore Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore Let it do its stuff and then see what happens My System: Eclipse
