Our DiskGO flash drive requires powered USB ports. Most keyboards and USB hubs operate from power supplied by the USB ports to which they are connected; this may not leave enough power for the DiskGO flash drive to operate properly. Connecting both power connectors of the DiskGO flash drive to both USB ports on the computer should allow it to power up properly. Occasionally, the front USB ports on some new computers are unpowered. If so, connecting instead to the ports on the back of the computer will usually solve the issue.
