I have a Celeron 2.13 GHz processor on VIA 845 based motherboard with 128 MB RAM. I have a Transcend JetFlash 256MB USB Pen Drive. The problem is that the drive does not work on my machine. Whenever I plug it in it gets detected properly, but if I try to copy anything from it, it refuses to workk. The LED on the drive flashes as it does when you are writing to the drive but nothing happens. Until you pull out the drive physically, it hangs up Windows Explorer. The drive works fine on almost every other machine I tested on. Also, I have an external USB Hard disk which woks just fine on the same machine. What could be the problem? I have tried all 4 USB ports on the machine with the same result.
