The USB port still asks for device to be inserted even though it's already plugged in! Is my computer not equipped for this or do I need to download something to be able to save data to it??? HELP!!!

USB is an outstanding ingredient - while it works.... sometimes in case you plug a USB gadget in, permit abode windows hit upon, unplug it, and plug it right into a various USB port (at any time interior the destiny), the USB gets at a loss for words and end detecting the gadget. go into your administration Panel and the device icon click the Hardware tab click the gadget supervisor (seek for any gadgets with a yellow "!" in front of them and uninstall them) visit the USB section Uninstall each and every thing in that section Reboot the pc and it will redect the USB ports. while it does, this clears the table of detected gadgets and the ports start up working back.

Nope.
You should; however, stop the device when removing it. There's a little thingy on the lower right hand side of your computer with a little green arrow pointing down you need to double-click to do so.
Once the box pops up click stop, then choose the name of the stick and stop it.
Your computer will say "It's now safe to uninstall device" or something close to that.
Happy Holidays!

you should not need to. However, some of the newest flash drives are coming with software to install. I use them without installing the software and they work fine.
Restart your pc to see if it sees the flash drive. If not, then you should go to the flash drive's manufacture website and search fro drivers to download.

What version of Windows are you running?
Older versions (win98, WinME) had limited USB support. Something may be wrong with your memory stick, try it in another machine.

Update your USB drivers. You shouldn't need special software.
