Can't access USB flash drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I've got an odd problem with a flash drive (USB stick). On my home
machine, Windows XP Pro recognizes it as soon as I plug it in and I can
read and write with it. However, I don't get the little icon that says
'Safely remove Hardware'...

When I plug the stick into my work machine (also XP Pro) doesn't give
me a 'Removeable Drive' disk in My Computer. I now get the 'Safely
Remove hardware' icon and I can see the device in Device manager. I can
plug this disk into all the other machines in the office and it is
accessable instantly. My work machine can also access any other flash
stick. It just seems to be this particular stick in this particular
machine.

Any clues?
