I has no driver??? But i'm running XP home and my other USB devices work as well as this key on another computer...any idea how i can fix this? how can i tell the computer what it is?

Hi there, i've read all of these and i don't think they apply, as my USB ports are still working. It's just this **** iomega USB key that won't work and only on my computer.

Format it again using the HP USB jump drive format utility.
