In TweakUI you have the possibility to hide some driveletters in explorer.
Maybe you have hidden this drives, and Total Commander doesn't care?

Also I learnt the hard way not to disable or hide any drive letters in
win98. It made Explore and Search grey out when right-clicking on the
Start button.

Getting back to your question, if you can't get a Removable Drive to
appear in Windows Explorer, just close all of the Windows Explorer
windows, wait for a few seconds, then run Windows Explorer again and
the drive should appear. This works for my USB ram sticks.
