Title: Please help im going mad!!! [ removeable pen drive problem]
Post by: simpleprincess on May 25, 2009, 01:54:04 AM
Ok I followed the advice by this guy [ see link provided]

http://www.troublefixers.com/how-to-...or-in-windows/


and im still having a problem like a few others in those comments where I still keep getting a message saying "please insert a disk in drive f ". I changed it to x like he suggested but its done nothing. im tearing my hair out!!!!. :'(


I have a 2gb mini micro Sd card in a flash stick thingie that came with my R4 revolution thing so I can eventually download my ds games that I already own onto it so that I dont have to carry around 20 seperate little cards and also it means I dont lose the original games like im good at doing..

Following the link, gets this:

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

Sorry, but you're going to have to give more information (A link to another forum doesn't hack it, frankly, especially when it doesn't work!) and describe your problem much more fully, in proper clear English.

Or maybe this is spam to make us see the ads on the Troublefixers site?

Have you tried plugging the stick into any other computer? Basically I am wondering if the pen drive is faulty or broken. This is quite common.

Has that flash drive ever worked?

I might try the internet cafe later if its open. Here in the stupid uk we have a bank holiday today which is infuritating every single thing is closed and the buses only run very 3 hours. May is the worst month we have about 5 of them. :P

If it isnt that then what?

its brand new it came with the R4 pack.

This has happened before with a vodafone micro sd card plugged into a samsung j700 phone at the time I thought it might be the phone and thought nothing of it and the problem is happening again

But whats strange is I can plug in my mp3 player [ which doesnt have a sd card] it recognises that? but not micro sd cards?

There are SD cards and SHDC cards. They look the same but the newer SHDC type only work in a compatible slot or card reader (which will read the older SD cards as well)

I dont know all I know is the pen drive and sd card came together in the r4 pack.
so they must be able to work together. I just feel im not getting anywhere. im finding this so frustrating. :'(

R4, eh? For the NDS? I wonder how this will fit in our rules.

Anyways, if the flash drive/adapter that comes with it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

It's not new at all. I got my R4 about 3 years ago.

It uses a mini-SD card. I'm sure you can find an adapter at the store.
