Ok so i bought a 4gb sandisk flash drive to store some files on esp. for work with all the pictures I need to take of peoples houses it makes life easier. Or at least it would if I could get the damn thing to work. I've tried it on other computers and it's fine but my main use is my laptop and it just won't work.

I plug it in and it says it recognizes new hardware, the wizard pops up asking me to search for drivers and it shouldn't do that. After it's complete it says it could not detect hardware and there is a device listed as OTHER DEVICE with a yellow question mark.

Anyone know why this would happen? I have a sony vaio it is about 5 years old and has 3 usb ports I've tried it in all and it does the same thing each time.

BOOOOO!!! any help greatly appreciated.
