Hi
One simple method you can use to list out the folders of your computer.
If any USB Pendrive is connected with your computer you will get the Pen Drive Name.
First get all number of drives. Make constant this value if next time with your pendrive you get the number of element is more then the fixed one then you can say external device is connected with PC.
May be this is not the standard method to detect the device, but it can solve your issue.

HALT detection on VIA KT600 when USB2 pen drive is connected

I have noticed that when an USB2 memory is connected to mainboards with VIA KT600 (such as MSI KT6 Delta and KT6V) the cpu HALT detection (enabled in the bios) stop to work and the CPU temperature rise up from 38°C to 49°C, in idle.
Instead, plugging an USB mouse the halt detection doesn't stop to work and the temperature doesn't rise.
I wish note this to MSI, hoping that they will issue a fix in the new bios for KT6 Delta and KT6V boards.
The operative system is Windows 2000 SP4. I have not tried on Windows XP and with USB 1.1 memories.
If someone else can test this, it may be useful.

Now I think I know it is Italian device.
Maybe, but this is a long shot, BIOS might think it is a booting device. What do you think? This is what gives me the idea: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/usbfaq.mspx
Excerpt:
"Q: Can a USB storage device be the primary (and only) means of storage?
No. USB-based mass storage devices cannot be the primary hard disk storage solution on a regular system (Microsoft Windows Logo Program System and Device Requirements, B10.1.5.6). However, these devices might be expected to be a replacement for booting to load an operating system (for example using a CD-ROM drive over USB) on the primary boot drive or as a replacement for legacy floppy disk drives. Booting from an external USB CD-ROM or USB floppy disk drive requires BIOS support.
For more information and to review the latest WinHEC presentations for ideas see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/default.mspx."

2.5" Firewire Drive - Permanently Connected, But Not Mounting?

I've been having trouble with a firewire drive (Seagate GoFlex FW800, 2.5" bus-powered drive) on my 2010 iMac, which recently failed, but I've found conflicting information to suggest whether the problems I've been having are part of a wider issue with OS X - for example, there are other recent posts on here which seem to be having issues with firewire drives, but slightly different issues.
Basically, I wanted it always connected (obviously it spins itself down when not being accessed). However, if I shut down or sleep my iMac, 90% of the time when I turn it back on the drive would be visible, but would just hang indefinitely if I attempted to access it (until I pulled the cable out). If I plugged it straight back in, it worked fine from then on, until I next shut my iMac down.
I've seen some things on the internet suggesting that a recent update to OS X broke it (i'm fully up-to-date), but I can't remember when it started going wrong so not sure whether that's true.
I've seen other things on the internet that suggest that certain brands of drive cannot be made to restart with the Mac, and that only certain firewire controllers are supported. But i'm sure I used to be able to do this when I first got the drive...?
I've also seen some suggestions from last year that it's an occasional problem that can be resolved by resetting SMC and PRAM - both of which I've tried and did nothing. I also tried disk repair, which had no effect.
So, can anyone shed any light on this. Is it a known problem with OS X, that certain FW800 drives aren't supported? Is it just a glitch that sometimes happens? Does anyone else use a Seagate GoFlex FW800 drive without these problems?
Any suggestions / experiences greatly appreciated.
David

You saying the external drive works with USB and doesn't with FW and you only have a FW400 cable? I assume your mac uses FW800. FW800 requires a 9-pin connector. FW400 a 6-pin. Cables and adapters exist to go from 9-pin to 6-pin. But I don't think plugging a 6-pin FW400 cable into 9-pin FW800 socket will work. That's probably your problem.

Pen Drive is not detected from my Solaris OS

Hello,
from my Solaris 10 OS my pen drive is undetected .Please help how to detect my pen drive .
The configuration of my system :
1) Solaris 10
Q) The OS is installed using VirtualBox , Host machine is Windows 7 ?
Q) My pen drive is working with other OS like Windows 7 .

Thanks. Have you configured the Solaris Virtual Machine to allow USB Passthrough? ie: are you allowing the guest to see USB devices or is USB disabled? See https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#idp11184832 for how to configure this.
If you can see other USB devices in Solaris, such as portable or desktop hard drives, then it could be an incompatibility between Solaris and the USB drive itself. Solaris doesn't support all usb drives/pens.

Pen drive formatting issue..

hello
sir,
window is unable to complete format..
Pen drive is detecting but when i want to see it's property it shwo us 0 byte.......... I have tried low level format, diskpart, HP pen drive format tool but not success , HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool replys" Media is write protected. "
& i have a 4 gb HP pen drive which is not detecting in my laptop??

Hello Mudsain,
If the pendrive is giving you a write protect warning, it might be fixed using USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II).
http://www.pny.com.tw/index.php?cls=2&mode=download
You may need to have 7-Zip installed to extract the .rar file. It is a free download. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Your going to extract "RecoverTool_V2.00.42_M1223 8CE.exe" from the downloaded file and run.
You should now be able to reformat the pendrive. IF this does not help, then the pendrive is most likey damaged and nothing more can be done.
If it is new, I would take it back to the store for a replacement or contact HP Support for more options.

Hope it helps.

[SOLVED] Pcmanfm and Thunar do not show pen drives after udev upgrade

Hi all,
I upgraded Arch today and found that my usb pen drive was not showing up in Pcmanfm available for me to mount. I reinstalled Thunar from my cache and found it too could not 'see' the pen drive. I first tried downgrading hal to the previous version, and that did not fix anything.
I then downgraded udev to the previous version and found the usb drive correctly appearing in both file managers.
I checked /var/log/daemon.log and found no errors. There was nothing to indicate anything had been mounted before I had downgraded udev.
Please advise me on anything I should do--is this a bug, should I investigate further, or have I forgotten to configure something new?
Thanks.
added: I checked bug tracker and there seems to be a new bug related to mounting of an NTFS drive possibly due to udev. This is a FAT32 pen drive, so I am not sure if it is applicable...
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11675
added again: rebooting fixed it for me. Thank you everyone.

I noticed this happening as well after my upgrade yesterday (PCManFM and Nautilus). But then I remembered to ... reboot and everything seems happy again.
PS: This includes VFAT, ext2 and NTFS formatted flash drives

make sure that in your finder preferences you have it checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar of finder
you find these preferences by selecting the finder icon (blue square on the dock w/ smiley face on it) then click on the work "finder" at top left corner of computer screen then click on preferences then general and put check next to show these items on the desktop and put check next to external drives
now you should see it on the desktop if you still can't open the drive or access it, it may be in format the mac can't read or write to so that could be an issue.

Hello bhad9,
You can use your pen drive on your XP machine and your tablet, but not the Windows 7 machine.
This could be caused by any of the following:
Your drive does not have a drive letter assigned to it in Disk Management
Your USB driver may be corrupted or not fully installed.
Can you see the Pen Drive in Disk Management when its plugged in?
If you see your drive showing but it does not have a drive letter assigned, do the following:
EXAMPLE using a Mushkin Pen Drive.
Open Computer Management by clicking the Start button, right clicking on Computer and then click Manage.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click Disk Management. Look for a drive that does not have an assigned drive letter and is not labeled as System Reserved.
Note: The System Reserved drive is reserved by Windows.
Right-click the unlabeled drive and click Change drive letter and paths…
Click Add and then click OK to select the first available drive letter.
If the Change drive letter and paths… option is not available, make sure that the drive is Online.
If the drive is Offline, right-click the disk number and click Online.
IF this is not the case let me know. Then we will see if the driver needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled for the Pen Drive

Is it possible to connect a USB pen drive to ipad 3 via and adapter?

Is it possible, via an adapter, to connect and access documents on a USB pen drive on an iPad3?

Technically, you can use the camera connection kit to attach certain USB drives to the iPad. That said, the ONLY thing your iPad will see are photos or movies that are named with 8 characters and located in a DCIM folder.
So technically you can attach a USB, however it does not work for documents, only photos or videos.
There are some wireless drives out there, the Seagate GoFlex and the iDrive and some others, but definitely with the Seagate it's often just that you can read from or pull from the drive, you can't put your document back onto the drive to get it off the iPad.
