Lexar USB Elite JumpDrive problems
Can anyone help to resolve my problem with this USB jumpdrive. I bought this Lexar Elite Jumpdrive which is supposed to work with Window XP. When I plug this on my my main USB slot, the Window XP does not recognize the hardware at all. Their web site said there was no need for any drivers for XP. Also, the computer does not even recognize the presence of a new hardware?
Regards,
James Li

Snap!! I bought the JumpDrive 2.0 Pro and received the same result. If anyone has the answer I to would like to know.
Also how can I run it with Windows98 Second Edition on a Dell Inspiron 3800 Laptop.
Many thanks

All,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
I really do not have any help to offer on the Lexar Jump Drive, but you should check to make sure that your USB ports work with other devices. If your ports work with other devices, then I would suggest that you contact Lexar. If your ports do not work with other devices, then you have a hardware or software problem that I can help you track down.
I have tried one Lexar Jump drive on a Dell desktop system, and Windows XP recognized it and installed the drivers without any help, or prompting. I do not have an explanation for why it is not working on your portable, but you should definitely test the USB ports.

Update XP to SP1 if you haven't done so already. Go to device manager and update your drivers for your USB Controllers, let windows search for the best drivers.

Yup you nailed it...I just bought a Lexar Jumpdrive 256 Meg USB flash, plugged into FRONT panel
USB ports on my Dell Dimension 4600...Window's XP never saw anything, so i plugged into the REAR
panel USB ports..works fine. Compared it to a working IBM 256 Meg USB flash that works in the front
port, and the plastic Lexar housing covers up too much of the USB connector, so it wont insert correctly
in the FRONT USB ports...who would've thought they would screw that up ???

Yes, the problem is that the jumpstart does not go far enough into the socket!
One fix is to open the front panel and to remove the bezel around the usb sockets.
Just takes a little prying with a screwdriver!

That may work for that model of Inspiron, but I have this problem with my Latitude D800 and I know other people who have it as well. I am using an extension cable so the socket is not a problem for the LEXAR. It works fine with other brands of thumbdrive all except the LEXAR. I have also tried plugging a USB HUB into my laptop.
All the other thumbdrives in the office work fine but not LEXAR/DELL Laptop.
We sent the LEXAR back and got a different brand and no problems.
THis Window 2000/SP4 with the LEXAR JumpDrive Secure model. Its LEXAR.

crynative, This solved my problem - THANK YOU! I have been looking for days, and this is exactly what I needed. I had a mapped network drive for D:\,and the system had assigned D:\ to the Lexar USB drive, no matter which USB port I plugged it into. :-)
