Kingston Datatraveler 200 not recognized

#1 02 May 2010 @ 2:56
So I bought a Kingston Datatraveler 200 with 128gb of space. off eBay, for $30, lol.

Thing is though, that when I got it, I plugged it in Vista Buisiness, click properties tells me 128gb. I know this can be changed. I copy 200mb or so I think. Works fine. I tested it, and its there. But then I restarted my computer with it plugged in and computer didnt load so i had to do a hard shut down by just holding the power button, since then it has not been recognized by the computer. I used to have a red LED that lit up. but it doesnt now, I tried on my XP machine and i think it flickered red. but dont remember ill try again tomorrow morning.

Any ideas as to why it stopped working, and how to fix it. I know its probably not a 128gb drive, but i would still like to be able to use it for what it does have.

Thanks a lot everyone.

Robert
