550075 2007-05-15 21:22:00 When plugging a usb pen drive into a networked pc the pen drive doe not show up in 'My Computer' .

I have been told of a fix previously where something is deleted from the windows system file and then after rebooting the drive shows up but I cannot for the life of me find this fix anywhere on the net .

The safely remove hardware icon does show up in the task bar so it is seen by the pc . . . . any advise greatfully accepted .

550076 2007-05-15 21:28:00 You could try going Administrative Tools > Coputer management>Storage>Disk Management and see if you can see it there. It may have taken a drive letter of a network drive. If so, rite click on the flash drive and change the letter to one that's not asigned.. This sort of things happens to me at work quite often when I go to someone elses PC.. paulw (1826)
