Did you check to see if the Disk Management recognizes the drive?

quickest way to get to it;

-Right click on 'My Computer'
-click on 'Manage'
-click on 'Disk Management'

see if the drive is there. I had the same problem with my flash drive. I had to manually assign a different drive letter to it to have my system recognize it.

-If the drive shows up in DM- right click on the drive in the DM window and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths..."

If it is an old PC ( < 2002)
you probably need to flash the BIOS
(because USB started from about 2002)
