Question rip me im tilted

[Saix]

Man it's always something I swear. Well, here's the story. I was wiring up memory card ports to my trim everything went smooth cool cool. I plugged my flash drive (128 gb lexar tiny one) into my pc and started to transfer a cube game onto it. Gets 70% of the way through and then my pc tells me something about it not being able to find the original file and it couldn't continue, I don't quite remember. So I unplugged my drive and plugged it back in and now windows cant recognize the drive. It knows something is plugged in it just cant tell that its a flash drive. Also, my other pc doesn't even recognize that something is plugged in at all, so there's something jenky going on here. Anyone else experience this or know whats going on? I tried a couple of things regarding device manager that I thought might fix it but I've had no luck. Thanks in advance

my lexar 128 broke too, trying to load up wii play while I was testing out using candles as a sensor bar.

Try plugging the drive into your PC, type "Computer Management" into your start menu, open it, on the left hand pane go to Storage->Disk Management. If you're lucky, the drive might appear in the top or bottom central panes. If it does show up, you can clear it, re-allocate the drive letter and re-partition it. If it doesn't, you might be up shit creek and should RMA that mayfly.

I'm serious I basically did the exact same shit to my lexar and spent a week using all sorts of different shit to try to fix it to no avail. As soon as I thought I had done it, it started acting up almost immediately.

That's what I ended up doing. Went to Fry's and got one but I forgot to price match it to Amazon

Note taken, I'm in Cass right now (fixing a flash drive is obviously more important) but I'll try that when I get home!

Lol, I started a curse. My condolences to your drive. Honestly maybe it's a fault of the drive if so many people are having issues with it. Haven't had any issues with the Samsung yet so fingers crossed

Nah this happened to me months and months ago, like in March or something. The drives are known to suck.

I'll admit I miss the light on the lexar, but the build quality of the Samsung is much nicer

My lexar hasn't crapped out on me yet, but mine seems to be the exception and not the norm. The lexar and samsung are the only ones known to work with all of portablizemii, but we stopped recommending the Lexars once so many people started having problems with them. Anyone who is looking to build a portable that USB loads should use a Samsung drive, and NOT the lexar drive that used to be recommended.
