Hello, I have a Dell laptop with Vista and flash drives won't work. it recognizes the hardware as an f: drive but cannot be found anywhere on computer. I'm not super technically inclined but not totally lost either. Saw a Biltware repair download but nervous.
 
I am not sure what you mean. You contradict yourself when you say it recognizes it as the f: drive but cannot be found on the computer because... you just found it.

I do not understand what you mean by "saw a blitware repair download but nervous"
