Does not reconize it appropriately and therefore thinks that it a floppy and wants to format it. It seems to treat the USB Stick, somehow, like a floppy drive. When the USB Stick is removed the Floppy drive also disappears. This laptop does not have a built-in floppy drive and has none connected.

When it reconizes and installs the driver for USB Stick it also displays a 3 1/2 floppy disk. If I format the USB stick on this machine it works fine on this Laptop but then it is unreadable on other PCs.Īnother interesting point is that it appears to view this drive as floppy drive. The Stick is reconized and I can see the device in device manager and Disk manager but it indicates a healthy but unreconized file system.

Similar to problems reported with USB Hard disk in this forum, I have the same problem but with a USB stick. The memory stick is working fine on other PCs but on this Laptop it keeps asking to asking to re-format the drive. I have a problem with a USB memory stick and a Laptop/Tablet PC with Windows XP.
