Gandalph Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Click to open your USB device in My Computer. Then double click it to show the files on the device. Then double click the Setup.exe file and it should start installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 A lot of damage can be done to USB devices by not using the correct method to disconnect them. With any USB device that is capable of reading and/or writing it is essential to use the "Safely Remove" facility. I suspect that you may have unplugged the device incorrectly.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Does the device also show empty if you use the DIR command from Command Prompt? Can you try to look at it with Recuva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
