    I've got a pendrive and I put some files on it to transfer them to my desktop PC, but when I plug the pendrive into my desktop, it makes the sound to tell you that somethings been plugged in, but thats all! Nothing pops up (like it normally does) to ask you to open the folders on the memory stick.
    So I went to 'my computer' and double clicked on all of the Removable disks and still nothing.
    i then thought that it was something wrong with the memory stick, so I plugged it back into my laptop and it works fine.
    I really dont know what the problem is, anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks,
    James
