USB storage detected but the Drive couldn't be found

[kwfine]

Hi all,

I was doing my homework in a computer room in my school.
When the homework was done, I plugged in my USB flash drive (2GB) to the computer.
The computer said new USB drive was detected, so I doubled clicked my Computer, but I couldn't see
my USB flash drive.
I unplugged my USB drive and plugged it to another computer in the same computer room, but the strange thing happened again. The computer just said then same thing, "new USB drive was detected", but I couldn't see my USB flash drive.

I was wondering if the administrator had done something to the user permission that I couldn't see the flash drive.

Could someone give me some idea please.

Thank you.

Kitty.

Check to see if it shows up in Disk Management after powering down and re-plugging it...

Sometimes, windows takes a long time to recognize flash drives, because it has to find a driver for it, and depending on the brand, this can take a while. so maybe it was just that it was not getting the driver by the time you unplugged it.
