Q9: Why does Windows keep asking for a driver when I plug the drive into a different USB slot or 

when I plug it through a USB HUB?

Windows keeps track of your hardware device IDs and capabilities in the registry. Every time you 

change a device or slot, Windows goes through the installation step again. 

Q10: What file system is the Flash Blu3 formatted in?

Flash Blu3 uses the FAT32 file system. It is compatible for use with both PCs and Macintosh computers. 

FAT32 is compatible with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 and Macintosh. 

Q11: Can I format the Flash Blu3 in HFS format?

Yes. However, it is better to leave the Flash Blu3’s file system as FAT32 for the best compatibility.

Q12: The Flash Blu3’s drive icon does not show up. What can I do?

Try unplugging the Flash Blu3 from the system and plugging it in again. Also please upgrade your USB 

PCI host controller or CardBus driver.

Q13: After following all the troubleshooting tips, the device still does not work. What can I do?

Please check with your computer or motherboard manufacturer for any USB driver fix. Certain USB 

chipsets have known compatibility issues; please check with them for any updates. Also, please go to 

Windows Update to check for any update to the Microsoft USB driver. You might also want to update 

your Bios to the latest version. Please contact your motherboard’s manufacturer for help with that. If you 

still have problem you cannot resolve, please contact Kanguru Technical Support at 1-508-376-4245,
