hello anyone who can help,

I bought a lexar 128 mb jump drive (removable storage) I
plugged it into my USB but it doesn't show on the windows
explorer. When i open my computer, i see the a,c,d,e,and f
drives. but no g drive. (a-floppy, c,f-hard drives, d,e-
cdrw-rom drives) but wait, when i click on the safetly
remove hardware icon, it is listed so i can disconnect it.
wierd, but wait there's more, when i go into the command
prompt, I type in G: and there it is. so here is how i
transfered a file: igot the C: dir and cd .. up to the
right directory which has my file. then I copied into the
G; drive. when i checked the dir. of the G: drive the file
that i copied was there. so this deduces that both the
jump drive and the USB port are working. it just doesn't
recognize it in explorer.
Awaiting advice. Thanks.

Rob <><
