Hi Sorry I forgot to mention I had tried it on another Laptop and it still doesn't work, I even tried it on a printer and the printer can't see the device.
I can't safely remove the drive either since it can't find it so I just have to take it out. When I do remove it, it makes a noise to say the drive has been removed.
I checked device manager again and you can see from the previous post there are two USB mass storage devices, with no USB plugged in there is only one, I've managed to open the properties of the USB but I can't do much with it.
I think the stick is dead. Either it's faulty (quite likely), the partition table is damaged (in which case a file recovery tool might help - if you're very lucky), or it's not NTFS or FAT formatted.
Yeah. Thanks anyway man, I'm away to mope
Do try a recovery tool, it's worth a shot.
