I bought a flash drive in Florida this spring. A 2GB Kingston Data Traveler. I put many pictures (jpg) files on it along with Microsoft Word and EXCELL files to bring BACK home to Michigan. I'am a snowbird. When I got to Michigan I put the drive into the computer there it recognizes there is a Flash Drive inserted but says no files are on the drive. Both computers are Gateway the ONE in Fla has Windows XP, the one in Mich has Microsoft Mellinium. Both computers have Microsoft Office with Word and Excell. Why can't I get these files??? Thanks in advance for any help!!!!

Try your Flash Drive on other computers. Do any of them see any files on your drive?Hi BUD1,

Is there any possibility that the flash drive was formatted (or converted) to NTFS file format while it was on the XP machine? Not very likely, but it's a possibility that needs to be eliminated, because if it was, the ME machine won't be able to read it.

If it was, you'll have to plug it into a Windows 2000 or XP machine, copy the files to somewhere else, reformat the flash drive as FAT32, then copy the files back onto it again.
