I get the message "USBDrive is write protected". What should I do?
Locate the small write protection switch on the back of the USBDrive and position it to the unlock or write selection.

I get the error message "USB Low Power Notice".
The error message results because the USBDrive needs more power than is available. This may be the result when the USBDrive is plugged into the keyboard port or other device such as a usb hub. To correct the problem, try unpluging the device and plug it into a USB port directly on your computer.

If I use a USB Hub, my USBDrive do not get detected in "My Computer".
If a USB hub is used it should be USBIF certified and self-powered, NOT bus powered, this will ensure proper current supply to the drive and help drive getting detected.
