Memory Stick

I made the mistake of removing a memory stick from a USB port while
the computer was either reading or writing something on the drive.

Now the computer won't read the drive. It doesn't exist, as far as the
computer is concerned. I have rebooted a few times, both with and
without the memory stick. No luck.

Re: Memory Stick

Try going into Administrative Tools, and Computer Management. Click on Disk
Management and see if it shows up. If it does, it may just need to be
reformatted.
