hey guys, my usb pen drive came in the post today, put it my old pc and it is showed in my computer as drive (h:) - when i try to copy any files to it - it says "please insert disk to drive h:" is it faulty? should i sent it back to them

two things
1: does it have a security tab to enable it to be writable?2: try formatting it. I had the same trouble with a couple of Dell pen drives.

thats exactly what i thought - but what software could i use to format it
- shutdown0
right click on the drive and select format

its says with format h: using the command prompt: insert new media for drive h: and press return
- shutdown0
doh!
and there's no write protect tab on it?
you are using a plug and play OS right?

format it with a WinXP machine and try it on oldie.

there is a write-protect tab, the drive pen is displayed and the properties work ok but cant do anything with it
