Can't access Kingston USB DTI/1GB thumb drive running Widows 7

[war]

The following error is logged in the system event log when I plug-in

my Kingston USB DTI/1GB thumb drive under Windows 7 (The

ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Type with the following error: Access

is denied.)



For starters the thumb drive works properly, a friend just copied an

application onto it which I would like to retrieve.



NOTES: When I insert the drive, I hear the usually sound which

indicates that a device (USB) has been detected, but it doesn't appear

in Windows Explorer. It does however appear in Computer Management/

Disk Management, in the lower part of the screen, as disk 8 removable

without a drive letter assigned. When I right click it I'm offered

the following options - Change Drive Letter, Format and Properties.

If I select either Change Drive Letter or Properties I receive the

following error: "The operation failed to complete because the Disk

Management console view is not up-to-date." It goes on to suggest

that I refresh the view, restart service or computer. Suggested

actions don't resolve problem Also if I right-click and select the

Format I receive a completely different error " AN UNEXPECTED ERROR

HAS OCCURRED. CHECK THE SYSTEM EVENT LOG FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE

ERROR. CLOSE THE DISK MANAGEMENT CONSOLE, THEN RESTART DISK MGMT OR

RESTART COMPUTER. Suggested action doesn't resolve problem.



Lastly, I verified that the USB port works by inserting a Samsung

music play and it said ready to use. ANY IDEAS?

Could the flash drive be infected? (Yes.)

BTW: This is for Windows XP. For Windows 7 question, use

answers.microsoft.com



No ideas! The Kingston DTI/1Gb does work correctly under Windows 7,

Vista and XP.

Windows 7 is still in beta and Microsoft is making money by

flogging off a beta version which was generally available for

free. I compared the files from beta version and the released

version that I bought from Amazon and surprisingly the files are

identical including the dates.



Comparing them to OEM versions, the dates have changed on OEM

versions but the files are still identical in size and names so I

concluded that Windows 7 is still in beta and one has to wait

until SP1 comes out this june.

What!!! You are stating that Windows 7 is still in beta? Windows 7

is a "retail" product sold in stores in North America.

Every time this moron goes fishing he always finds one who takes the bait.

Do yourself a favor and block him.

The fact that it is sold in stores in North America doesn't mean

it can't be a beta. Let us assume that it is retail as you say

then why has M$ already released 135 patches since it was

officially released last September/October 2009?



135 patches boy! 135!!! It can't be retail!
