Hi,

My usb memory stick was working fine fine on all my home pc's but now on the
one it does not show the drive in my computer.

When I insert it the computer sounds to say it detects it (but I cant see in
my computer)

If I go my computer/manage/device manager I can see it has been detected by
the usb slot.

Again if I go computer/manage/disc management it does not have a drive
letter and when I assign it one and click refresh I can open the memory stick
in disc management but still cant see it in my computer even after clicking
refresh there.

Any help will be great thanks
 
You might want to set it's Drive Letter to a mid-alphabet range -
such as L, M... Download and use Tweak-UI, expand the My
Computer category and click the "Drives" sub-options. Check
that no drive letters are masked out, specifically the drive letter
you assigned with Disk Management.
Tweak-UI Version 2.10 available here:
