    Can you try to reformat one of them two things and check again?? I had similar problem some time ago, reformat cured the issue...

    Thanks,

    It's funny that when i insert the flashdrive in the computer that i am copying from the internet to transfer to my acer, specially when it's an mp3 file, as i don't have an external cd/dvd drive.

    The fd works fine on the "receiving" pc but when i put it in the acer i get the windows explorer error message and the drive shuts down and i can't access anything from the drive on the acer.

    Any ideas? It's very frustrating as i have a great number of songs on the fd.

    Try uninstalling the card reader from Device manager, downloading the latest drivers and reinstalling it. Could be a corrupted driver issue.
