Agh...usb mass storage device not working?

[agentsmith101]

Ok, just got a PNY 128mb usb device to transfer files from my old computer without a working cd-rw to my new one with dvd rw. So non cd rw pc accepts the usb device and I put 128mb in files and music on it, only to discover dvd-rw pc doesnt accept the usb device. WTFBBQ!@#! It says that it needs DRIVERS for it. So my question is can i get and drivers off the internet to satiate my dvd-rw pc.

(Tell me if that made any sense to you)

What OS is your "DVD-RW PC" using? Win98SE and above should automatically come with the proper drivers.

Its using windows xp professional, so i dont think that should be the problem, but i built it myself you cant really be sure

Then you've managed to stump me, XP Pro should be fine. Are you sure the USB port is even working correctly?

 

[agentsmith101]

the usb port works fine for everything else...though every time i switch (say my adapter) from one port to another i have to install the drivers all over again and its recognized as wireless connection 2 or 3 or 4 etc.

usb drive recognized as wireless connections? are you sure?

 

[agentsmith101]

no that was an example. The usb drive is unrecognized and it tries to install ?drivers? for it even though its plug and pl(r)ay...

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Have you tried letting it search for and install drivers?

Try installing Aspi layer software - free DL from Adaptec. I know it helps for USB optical drives.
