USB "Memory Stick" problem, help please

[kevscrivener]

Bought one of these to transfer club products data from my PC (runs XP Home) to Dee's lap-top (Windows 2000 professional). The stick has registered on both PC's, however I successfully downloaded the files onto it, but when I plugged it into the lap-top it shows as empty.


Am I doing something wrong, or are the two systems incompatible?

Kev, not sure why its doing it,but can you try the same thing but in reverse? Try copying files from laptop to desktop

Also verify that the files have actually been copied by roght click the drive in 'My Computer' then click the properties. It will show you a pie chart of the size of the drive, whats used and whats left.

The two systems should not matter, they are compatable. If you still have problems try re-formatting it with the laptop and trying again, happened to my son Sam and this was the fix.

Also Kev, did you remove the device from the desktop safely?

Sorted; thanks guys.

Should know better by now, when something says "plug and play" it's never that simple!
