Using a USB Memory Key or Memory Stick

[Guest]

I have a 128MB Kingston Data Traveler. I am trying to use it with my Windows
XP computer. I cannot figure out how to get the computer to show the drive.
When I plug it in to my USB port, XP automatically recognizes it and installs
the drivers, but when I open up My Computer, it does not show up as a
removable drive. Anyone have any hints or tips?

Try going to computer management and assigning a drive letter.

Rigth click my computer -> click manage -> click disk management->
select the USB drive-> Right click and select change drive letter and
path -> click add or change -> then assign a drive letter. Hope this
help.

Drop down the drive list in the Address Bar. Mine always shows up
there. Once opened from the Address Bar, it appears in the folder
tree (left pane).
