USB thimb drive not showing up

Hello

I have a small thumb drive that worked previously in Windows Vista and still
works in XP. Lately, when I plug the drive into the port I get the icon to
"safely remove" hardware and the drive shows up in the removal list. But
when I go to windows explorer it does not show up. It used to occupy drive
"H" and it used to load as soon as I plugged it in. Now nothing on Vista but
it still works on XP.

Any ideas why?

If I type H:\ in the address bar on top of windows explorer it
opens......hmmmmmmm. Odd.

Any help will be appreciated.
