I am using a Kingston G3 USB stick on my Windows 7 computer.
However, I am experiencing the following problems with this particular USB device.
(1) The computer does not respond (or recognize) the USB stick after plugging it into a USB multi port hub and sometimes it takes about a minute before the normal Kingston file list appears.
(2) Other times, I get a message that says the USB device must be scanned for problems. So I run the scan and the normal file list is finally displayed.
(3) Sometimes, the reading process continues for about a minute and some files cannot be accessed. The light on the stick keeps blinking and the Windows Task Manager indicates the drive is not responding.
However the other devices (a mouse and the keyboard) that are plugged into the USB hub are working OK. I have several other USB sticks that do not experience any of these problems. Therefore, the problem is isolated to the particular USB stick itself. Is there any way to fix this or should I try to copy all the files off this device to another location and drop it in the "round file"?
