So when you go to Start>My Computer the drive isn't listed there?

you sure you're usb drive is working properly?

you should check whether your usb drive is infact one of those 'plug-n'play' drives.. because I'm betting that the driver for it isn't installed. If you're copying information from your school computer to your home computer on this drive, you should have probably previously installed it on YOUr computer at home. I cannot see a reason for it not working except maybe the plug-n-play issue. Also this is considered a removable drive so try to type in K: in the address bar. If this doesn't work try D E F G H I J K L:. My removeable drive uses the removable drive slot "K:".
