Having trouble copying file, does this drive not work with front usb ports?

In file manager, you should be able to "drag and drop" a file from your "C" drive (or wherever your copying from) to the Lexar. Your front USB port might not be hooked up internally or the front port might be rated below USB 2.0. Try inserting the Lexar in a USB port in the back of your computer.....should work then.

Before copying file over make sure the files are all closed out before you can proceed

I'm making an assumption that you are using Window XP. Vista, Win7, or Win8. If that is the case the USB should be formatted for NTFS. not FAT32.

We can copy to internal memory and SDcard like it is usb drive. Better rename any folder before move to Fiio, since it always slow and crash when try to rename via USB connect. Eject all disk before unplug.

interesting comment...but no have not tried that so far...but then I again I purchased the drive to save/transfer files

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

I had a similar problem on Windows 7 after using a USB portable drive on a trip with my XP laptop. I plugged it into my Win7 desktop and the device was recognized, but did not come up with a drive letter. Using the control panel disk manager, I found and error message that it was offline because of some kind of a resource conflict with another drive. I was able to correct the problem by using a right click in the disk manager to put it online. I think this is a Win7 bug, not a problem with the drive.

For direct cloning, I didn't have much success when the destination drive was smaller than the source drive. If the destination is equal or larger, works fantastic! One workaround was to make an image of the source using a 3rd party software, then write the image back on the destination.

Sorry to tell you, yeah it's a bad drive. These aren't official Microsoft hard drives, so sometimes they won't work. Try returning it. Mine works pretty nice, but had I known that it wasn't actually produced by Microsoft, I wouldn't have bought it.

My answer is both yes and no. I purchased two identical units of this model at separate times. One has been working ok (good) other is totally unreliable (bad), i.e., either needs to repeat a process(insert-remove) many times until finally show up or the icon fails to show up. No icon means no file transfer possible. I have five (16GB) flash drives in total made by three different manufacturers and find one made by Kingston to be most reliable so far.

Suggest you contact Seagate support. Have had no issues with the drive. Am not using USB interface, connected the device using the SATA connection directly on a Pogoplug device.

Sorry, but I won't be much help. I have not used a flash drive on that unit.

Yes this will work all u have to do is a restore. If that doesn't work just save all data on usb drive. Then transfer data. That's what I had to do because I had 1 corrupt file so it wouldn't restore but saving on the usb worked

I had problems with most of the front ports, the only one that actually works for me atm is the 2.0 usb one...

I would compare this drive to the current one you own. If the size or type of connector is different then that it's where your problem lies

I have had the same problem using other devices with Windows 7 (which as a "disk operating system" is a total bust!) Sometimes it helps to plug in a different memory card or USB device before reinserting the first card or device- give that a shot. Windows 7 allows me to eject the drive from Windows Explorer which works better than using the icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

If you can, try a different flash drive and/or using the flash drive in another port to make sure it's not the problem. Do as other answers say, check that your connection to the motherboard is good and possibly check drivers. If the flash drive works elsewhere then reformatting it probably wont help, but it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, sounds like a bad unit. I transfer large files all the time with no issue.
