Over the summer when I wanted to install Windows 7 RC from my thumb drive, it stopped working before I could use it. It was basically brand new. I didn't mess with it and just used an external harddrive. Now that I'm ready to install my brand new Windows 7 final disc, and want to do it via usb (no dvd drive on computer)...it's time to revisit this problem.
The drive does not show up in Windows at all. It doesn't show in Computer Management either. (Not a drive letter issue). I ran USBDeview to see if I could even find the drive at all. The drive is listed and does have a driver letter (F). It says it's disconnected though. I tried disabling+enabling to no change. I tried uninstalling the device then putting it in another port, but it's still not recognized. After uninstalling the putting the drive in the usb port, windows tried to install but said it couldn't with a reason of it not being connected.
At the moment the light on the usb drive is on, which is different from before when the light would come on for about a second then go out.
I don't know what else to try...Suggestions? I'd like to install W7 final to get rid of these annoying warnings
Thanks
