This problem just developed.
USB drives such as flash and Western Digital Passport are no longer
recognized in "My Computer".
However they are recognized under Hardware Devices and by my Disk Management
program.
Please help. Thank you.

Yes they have been formatted and partitioned. And, incidentally, they work
fine on my wife's laptop.
