USB Memory Stick Prob

[Kblade64]

I need help bad. I plug my memory stick into my comp and I have no way to access it. The computers at my university I plug the memory stick in a USB slot and it shows up as one of the removeable drives like E: drive or whatever. I plug it in my own comp and there are no removable drives. All I see is C: drive and D: drive (recovery) and my DVD and DVD writer drives. Please tell me how I can access this on my comp I need it for my course work. thank you.

what operating system are you running?
if its windows 98 or older you will need to install drivers for the USB drive (drivers would have come with the USB drive it self)
