Compact Flash drive has disappeared

[Guest]

Hi anyone who can help me

My PC (Medion bought in Aldi a few weeks ago) has an integrated Compact Flash drive that is used to downolad photos from a memory card

This drive is normally accessible and visible in the "My Computer" view

MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE DRIVE (iCON) HAS COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED from my computer, I cannot locate it, I cannot see it, and when I insert a memory card, it does no longer start the wizard nor show anything

Can someone help

This has happened after the screen froze as I had Ulead PhtoExpress 4.0 SE launched and was trying to access the drive that was empty. The system asked me to "insert a disk or cancel", but pressing cancel did not work and the display just froze. After a while I decide to reboot manually the computer, and it took 5 minutes, instead of the usual few seconds
I have looked at the error message in the log and it shows

"Application Hang on Ipe40.exe..." and also "Fault Bucket...

BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE

Woody, look on your Software Disk that came with the Computer for drivers
for the Flash Drive. You may just have to
reinstall it. If it's a USB Device rt click on MyComputer>Select
Prop>Hardware>Device Manager. See if there's any
yellow marks next to any of the USB Controllers. If yes then Uninstall
them and let WinXP reinstall on next startup.
