lego flash drive

[Spawn-Inc]

i am browsing on my wii's broswer when i came across a lego flash drive. i have a 15mb flash drive that i'm going to try to put into a block of lego. i would/will post more but it's hard to type with the wiimote.


here is a picture of what i want to make

i just tried to fit the 15mb drive into my lego block but its to big so i will have to buy a smaller one.

i've looked around and i think i will get this flash drive

its a 1gb kingmax super stick for only 13.99. sadly, i don't have the funds to get it just yet, i'm paying 157 for some driving lessons so that comes first. so i will update in 1 week maybe.

while where on the topic of flash drives does anyone know why a flash drive would work in some computers but not others? the flash drive i was going to use for this will work on my computer downstairs and on my brothers computer but won't work on my family computer. it used to work on the family computer but for some reason just freeze the windows explorer until i pull it out. any thoughts?

It might be connecting the data transfer wires (D+ and D-). Check for any shorts.

if you mean on my usb port for the computer it works fine. my dads flash drive works and everything else i plug into it works too.
