Wiz Won't Connect As Mass Storage

[Singularity]

Hey guys, I am having a problem with connecting my Wiz as a mass storage device to my Windows XP 64bit machine. I have tried different ports, restarting, etc. But each time I plug it in I get the error message "USB Device not recognized" and therefore it will not show up for me.

Any ideas? I have done quite a bit of searching and come up with similar answers but nothing has helped so far

Cheers.

I have the same exact issue, but I think its just that Windows stinks because sometimes it finds it, sometimes it doesn't and I'm not doing anything differently. So whenever I need to access the internal memory I use my wife's MacBook which may not be an option for you but it works every time on there so at least I know its not an issue with my cable or Wiz hardware. So I've come to the conclusion that Windows OS just blows.

bad batch of USB cables sent out could be the problem, check out my consolesource.com thread

Yeah, it's either you have a bad USB cable, or the Wiz system is not detected by 64 bit Windows XP.
Have you tried 32 bit XP?

There are two issues here:

1. I have heard from others that Windows 64 Bit has problems connecting to the Wiz.

2. Bad USB cable.

I would try plugging your Wiz into a friends PC running a 32 bit version of Windows and if you're still getting problems then contact your supplier for a replacement cable.
