Hello there

My USB flash drive doesn't get listed in My Computer with the hard drives
and CD Rom drives. Windows XP recorgnized the flash drive model and loaded
correct driver, the message said the device is installed and ready to use but
when I check My Computer drive list it is not there. What else I need to set
or change to see my flash drive to access the files on it ? Please help.


Thanks

Also check Device Manager, if it is truly installed properly. My USB flash
disk has three entries; under Disk Drives, under Storage Volumes and under
USB Controllers.
 
Yes, I checked under Device Manager, my flash drive manufacturer name is
listed, driver installed and device working properly message they're all
there. What I have learned was if I leave my flash drive in USB port then
shut the computer down and restart it, I will see my flash drive in My
Computer drive list. But if I remove it and restart the computer without it
in USB port, when I insert my flash drive in USB port after the computer
already on then I can't see my flash drive in My Computer drive list. What is
going on? Shut down and re-boot the computer every time I need to use the
flash drive is not a convenient way to do and I hope Microsoft is awared of
this problem.
