Samsung Mighty Drive (1 GB USB flash drive) not seen by Windows 7 64-bit

Windows XP recognizes this USB stick right away, but Windows 7 reports: Unknown device.
Windows 7 claims to have stopped the device due to an error 43.

It then pops into the USB devices but with a yellow warning sign.

Driver seems not be found anywhere and shouldn't really be needed, so what is going on?

Any ideas?

Did an NTFS format, but sadly to no avail. Same error.
Same goes for connecting via a hub.

Merete, this is not a phone but an old USB stick type flash drive.

Also, I noticed that if the flash drive is inserted at boot, the machine hangs because it cannot get hold of this drive and what to do with it; it is there and it is not - it even has been removed from the boot sequence. When I remove it, the machines boots instantly.

So ... this is an old 1 GB flash drive. No more time will be spent on it.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.
