Just a quick one

how do i make my usb drive that is not being detected in windows to be detected

i get this error

"one of the usb devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned. and windows does not recognise it "

i have tried one cryzy thing i washed it in water, i used to do this if any motherboard died, then dry them out in the sun and they would work fine again

is there any one with any idea i can work on this drive its a sahara eDrive 1 GB

Best Wishes
 
If your USB drive wasn't defective before you submerged it in water, it probably is now. Either way, looking at that error message would suggest it's not something you can fix yourself.

Unless the data is important, buy another one.


Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.
