I have Transcend 1GB JV30 USB pen drive . After installing Win XP SP2 my pen drive does not seem to get detected.
Prior to SP2 installation , my drive used to function normally.
My Computer does not show the removable disk drive ;therefore I cannot read my drive contents ; but my drive LED flashes . Also an icon appears on my system tray (this is the "Safely Remove hardware " icon ).

Also I can stop the drive normally , as one does .

At my office where I work , my drive gets detected normally , and functions perfectly.

What could the problem be ? I tried reinstalling Win XP SP2 and the motherboard drivers , but in vain .

The Xp cd from which you are installing may have a corrupt USB driver. try using a different disk or better try it on a Linux live Cd.
If detected Format it and safely remove it
