i've tried what u suggested but i still can't c it in "My Computer" when i plug in the usb device for the 2nd time. When i go to device manager and scan for hardware changes, it does show the usb device, but i dunno how to run or open the usb drive.

actually is there any way that can open the usb device everytime i plug it in??

thx~

But when i plug it off, n try to plug it back again, it won't show the folder again like the 1st time, n i can't find the usb drive in "My computer" as well. i need to restart the computer in order for it to open the usb drive again.
