I have a 1 Gb USB Lexar flash drive that so far has worked on every computer I have plugged it into - my brother's computer as well as a computer at school. But when I plug it into my own computer, I can't access it and it is not visible under "My Computer". My computer is running Windows XP HE with all updates installed, I don't see why the flash drive would not work? Any ideas?

    Have you tried putting it in to a usb slot that is already being used and is known to be working. ?
    Could be the slot you are trying to use is malfunctioning. Let us know the result it will help.

    Actually I put it in today and it worked fine. I have no idea why it works now and didn't before. :confused:
