I have a 1GB microdrive with some stuff on it that I need to get onto my computer. When I put it in the microdrive slot, nothing happens and it doesn’t show up on the list of drives. I’m running XP Pro. Any ideas?

I used to have that problem with my work laptop. If I rebooted with the usb stick in it, the stick would show up after the reboot.
