Windows xp g drive disappeared

[loyerd6]

Hello,
First off, I know almost nothing about the inner workings of a computer. I can find almost anything on the internet, but as far as how the thing works, I'm clueless. That being said, I have a digital camera with a memory stick. In order to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer, I plug the memory stick into my printer, follow the path My Computer > G Drive > DCIM > 100Olym. All of a sudden, my G Drive disappeared! We did not do any scans or anything that I can think of that would have made this happen. Can anybody help me? Thanks!

It could have been given a different drive letter, any other drive letters aside from the C: and DVD drives showing up?

You can also try to power-cycle the printer and reboot the PC. The G drive is just the drive letter that the PC assigned to the media card reader on the printer. Can you print OK? Could have a lose cable.

When you plug your printer in to the USB port do you hear it making the "dingdong" noise of a device being plugged in ?

Like hang-the-9 asked, can you print?
It could be a # of simple things.. any more info ?
