Windows 7 USB 2.0 Problem (FlashDrive)

[Ergonpandilus]

I got nasty problem with USB Flash Drives (mass storage). The stick works perfectly with other computers. Other USB 1.X devices works perfectly(mouse and keyboard). USB WLAN stick also have issues, so that it breaks up the connection from time to time. I have tried several different drivers with USB WLAN and it makes no difference.

But the main problem is this:
When I plug the usb flash drive, it recognizes it (Kingston Data Traveller 2.0) and I can even read data from it, even very fast. But the problem start when I try to put some new stuff in it. Ex. I want to copy a big video clip to it, when I drop something to it, it starts to do some "calculations" for few seconds, then it popup message showing the the file is already there and aks questions should it be replaced. When I answer "replace", it gives me copy error "0x80070570". Afterwards I check the flash drive, it shows the file there but the size is 0kb. Also, it usually disconnects(!) the flash drive automatically after a while.

The problem does not exist when I'm turning USB 2.0 to disabled in BIOS or if I use 2GB <= flash drives, but that's not a option for me.

I just got new 500W Nexus power supply, some I'm a bit doubtful if there is any power issues.

I'm very open to suggestions. What could the problem? Has anyone else having same kind of problem? If you do, can you post list of your computer parts so we could pinpoint the problem.

It seems like you are facing a specific issue with your USB flash drive on your computer, particularly when trying to write data to it. Here are some troubleshooting steps and suggestions based on the symptoms you described:

Potential Solutions and Suggestions:​

1. Power Supply Consideration:
   • Since you recently installed a new 500W Nexus power supply, it's worth ensuring that the power supply unit is functioning correctly. Inadequate power supply can sometimes cause issues with USB devices. You can check the power supply by testing the USB flash drive on another computer with a different power supply.
   []USB Port and Driver Check:
   • Ensure that the USB port you are using for the USB flash drive is functioning correctly. Try using a different USB port on your computer and see if the issue persists.
   • Check for the latest USB drivers for your motherboard from the manufacturer's website. Updated drivers can often resolve compatibility issues.
   []USB Transfer Settings:
   • Check the transfer settings for USB in Device Manager. Sometimes changing transfer settings like USB optimization may help in resolving transfer errors.
2. USB Flash Drive Testing:
   • Test the Kingston Data Traveller 2.0 on another computer to rule out any issues specific to your system.
   • Try formatting the USB flash drive and then copying data to see if the issue persists.

     Other Considerations:​

   • Compatibility Check:
   • Ensure that the USB flash drive is compatible with USB 2.0 ports, although it should ideally work without issues.
   • System Requirements:
   • Verify that your motherboard supports USB 2.0 properly and that there are no known compatibility issues with your specific model.
   • BIOS Settings:
   • Check BIOS settings related to USB configurations. Resetting BIOS settings to default may sometimes resolve USB-related issues.

     Request for Additional Information:​

     To further investigate the issue and potentially identify any specific hardware or software-related problems, providing a list of your computer parts/components could be helpful. If you can share details like your CPU, RAM, GPU, and any other relevant components, it may assist in pinpointing the problem more accurately. Feel free to try the suggested steps and share any additional details about your computer components for more targeted assistance.
