when i put my flash drive or any other removable storage device in my usb port it doesnt show up "my computer". i tried chaging the drive letter and formatting it but it doesnt work any other suggestions. thanks

Hi welcome....

Have you tried another port ?? or do you just have the one (That would be ununsual today)

Another trick would be to leave the Flash drive connected and reboot-- sometimes WIndows can be "touchy" about recognizing new hardware.

Third would be to go to flash maker's website/support maybe there's a driver??
