Ok I have a USB memory stick. I plug it in and XP sees it and gives it a drive letter. I try to open it and XP prompts me to insert a disk into drive E: (correct drive letter).<br />
I found on forum where they suggested using killdisk to blow it away and retry, but when I run that it gives me a bad or missing command line interpreter error. This thing is a datace 2.2 gig drive. I think it actually has a IBM gs-magic stor compact flash card in it with a usb interface (as that is also listed in the remove device selection area now). Any ideas? &nbsp;I have 2 of these things and the other one seems to work fine. I did try to format this one but same thing and asks for disk to be inserted.<br />

USB Mass Storage device seen but asks for disk to be inserted

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
