Hello,
I left my flash drive attached as I rebooted an XP sp3 computer and before I could stop it CHKDSK ran. Now the flash drive shows as a folder and some systems don't recognize it. Is there anything I can do to make it recognizeable again??

Thanks

TomO

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

I figured it out.

Flash drive was infected with virus, and your antivirus has removed the virus. Enable hidden files , right click and choose explore delete any autoplay.inf and unwanted files in your flash drive which are hidden.
