    Hi, my USB drive has stopped showin up in My Computer for some reason. It comes up in the devices control panel as working fine - displayed as the correct brand n size n everything...

    The USB works fine on my other computer, anyone got any ideas about this?

    Cheers.

    It can mean that the USB drive has been given the same drive letter as an existing drive.

    Right click on My Computer>Manage>Storage>Disk Management>Right click on the USB drive>Change Drive Letter and Paths>Then change the drive letter to one that isn't used and see if it appears now.
