winxp, 80GB HD having partitions (C,D,E,F,G),floppy drive, and CD
Drive,CD-RW Drive.
A friend of mine gave me an IBM 32 MB Memory stick. Inserted it to one
of my USB ports. The pc recognized the new hardware device.Device
manager shows this USB mass storage device and its properties show that
the device is working properly.
Yet windows explorer does not show it under the drives.
Any guidance so that the device gets shown under the drives so that it
could be used?

Change your CD drive letters to something at the end of the alphabet is Disk
Manager.
Reboot.
Reinsert USB Thumb drive.

You have a 80GB harddrive partitioned in C,D,E,F&G? Should use no more
than C,D&E. Change F&G to V&W
