I used it once to copy files from my PC to my laptop and it worked fine. I tried doing it again right after and my laptop stopped detecting it. My PC still reads it fine.
If it helps the USB port still works for my portable floppy drive and Xbox controller. And I bought the USB drive because my laptop CD drive had suddenly (randomly) stopped working (still works for DVDs). If anyone has any advice for that too feel free to pitch in.
edit: oh, and my laptop dosen't have an internet connection.
USB drive is: 1GB USB 2.0 Flash MEMORY STICK Key PEN DRIVE
PC system:
Windows XP home edition
version 2002

Remove all non essential USB devices safely and power down.
Do a few reboots without connecting anything.
Power down and plug in the flash drive.
Right click My Computer and select Manage. Go to Disk Management and see if it is listed there...

Are the file systems both the same on each machine ? ?
I.E. NTFS or FAT 32 ? ?
You can find this info by right clicking on each drive in My Computer and selecting properties...

I think I got it.
I feel stupid, turns out the top was loose and I had to push it in more than on the PC. Suppose that's what I get for buying it for 5euro on eBay.
Thanks for your help, Patio.
