Hi, I'm using WinXP Pro

Recently when I plugin my thumb drive into the USB slot, system is able to
detect the drive, but when I go to My Computer I can't find any removeable
drive.

Is there any solution to it? Thanks

=======================================
What thumb drive is it exactly?
Manufacturer / Model

When you plug it in, does it show up in Device Manager?
(Start > Run... > devmgmt.msc)
Under these categories -
+ Disk drives
+ Universal Serial Bus controllers

If so, what is the status of the thumb drive?

My own SanDisk CRUZER mini 256 MB shows up as:

- Disk drives
Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device

- Universal Serial Bus controllers
USB Mass Storage Device
========================================
