Hey guys
I'm hoping somebody can assist me with a small issue I've been having. I recently attempted to load Windows 7 RC onto my laptop and I thought it might be interesting to load it via a USB drive. I followed the instructions from one of the many guides on how to do it (http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-...-working-guide/) and eventually booted from the USB drive. After the Windows 7 installation finished, my USB drive refused to be picked up.
I've tried the drive on a Windows XP machine, Windows 7 and even on Linux to no avail. The drive installs the driver (RW8021 Pendrive Driver) successfully however it fails to load the USB Mass Storage Device driver.
Is there a way of recovering the drive at all? I've tried a couple of data recovery tools however they're quite pointless as the drive isn't even picked up in the Disk Management console.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
