USB flash disk

Hi,
I have a problem with a PQI 1GB USB flash disk on my
desktop pc. The device Manager from the System Properties
of the Control Panel reports that "This device is working
properly.". Also, the Safe Hardware Removal program
believes that the disk is OK and can "safely remove" it.
However the icon of the disk does not appear in My
Computer and no drive's letters, others than those shown
in My Computer, can be accessed from the command line. How
I am to get access to the USB flash disk? The disk works
perfectly on my laptop; both are under WinXP Pro and the
disk manual says that WinXP does not need any additional
drivers to run this device.
Regards, VK

Right click MY Computer and select Manage. Look for
Storage/Disk management, assign the drive a letter.

The desk top is on the university-wide network and does
not let me in the Disk Manager, anyway many thanks for the
idea.

Talk to the university IT department for a solution. They
may be able to allow you to use the device.
