USB Thumb drive shows as device but not in Explorer

May 17, 2008

I have two USB thumb drives, one an Imation and the other a Kingston. Both

show up under Computer Management and Device Manager but neither shows up

under WinExplorer. Properties indicates the drives are functioning properly.

Trying to save files to either drive under File Save As returns an error

message there is no media present. Win Help/Support mentioned to delete

registry keys that don't exist on my pc. The drives work fine on my other two

units. Suggestions?
