Neither XP nor Ubuntu can see stick

Hi

I just bought a 8Go Flash Voyager stick in France.

G08G

NMC8C0138

08496032-0

I first ran it on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit. The system could see it.

I then installed Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit on it from a Live CD.

When I boot from the stick, it stalls at this point

"Starting Bluetooth

usb 8-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110"

and

"usb 8-2: device not accepting address 2 error -110"

I get similar error messages when I try to boot on a Dell that normally runs Windows XP.

The stick has become invisible to Ubuntu, neither Nautilus nor Gparted can see it. Running lsusb yields nothing.

When I insert it in a computer running Windows XP, the system tells me it needs to install drivers to run the usb device so I can't see the stick there either.

Thanks for your help.

I have received the new stick, which works fine.

Thanks.
