USB Memory stick stops working
When I plug a 4Gb USB memory stick into a USB socket on my PC I can see the
files on the device. When I try to open them it won't. The next thing is it doesn't even show they're there and properties shows the device as empty. Any way of 'repairing' it? |

If yes, it is failing and should be replaced. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Return it or just throw it out. You can buy a 4GB USB flash drive from NewEgg for under $20. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |
