I am trying to get my flash drive and PDA phone to work on my USB drives. They have suddenly stopped working and the drives are not showing on "My Computer". I restarted my computer hoping that might help but no luck. HELP!

Welcome to Geeks to Go.
Please check in device manager for any USB devices that have errors. How many USB's do you have? Have you checked your devices in other USB ports? Found in start/ control panel/ system/ hardware tab/ devices. |

I checked Device Manager and found no ? or anything unusual. I tried one of the other USB drives and it does work so maybe it's just the front drives are bad. The printer USB drive works also. None of them show up on "My Computer".
Sorry, I took so long to come back. Thanks, for any suggestions you can give me to get the drives to show on "My Computer". |
