Re: Thumb drive not accessible

I am having a problem with my Pqi 1GB thumbdrive. I haven't used it in a while, but when I tried to plug it into my desktop, it's not recognized. I can see that it's there, but it shows zero space used, zero space available. Autoplay scans it, but then it suddenly stops. Another device is recognized without any problem.

I tried uninstalling the device from the admin side, and then scanning for new hardware. It saw the device and started installing, but failed. The error code was 10.

I had previously used it on a laptop, and didn't have any problems. Now I can't access it from my desktop.

I can see and read the data from Knoppix (yeah, yeah), so I know it's there. The device itself doesn't seem to be damaged, it just can't be accessed by XP.

Any ideas?
