I have an internal USB Drive and last week, I changed the drive letter and now the USB Drive does not appear on My Computer anymore? Any ideas how I can recover it? Thanks!

Try right clicking My Computer-->Manage-->Disk Management and see if you can find it there. If so, change the drive letter or assign one that you like. If you do not see it there, find the device in Device Manager (right click My Computer-->Properties-->Hardware-->Device Manager) and delete it. Reinsert the device and see if that works.

If your computer has an AMD CPU, and Viatech USB Host Controllers; changing the USB Host Controller drivers to standard or generic drivers, may work. Sometimes, putting a line in config.sys, helps. ie. "lastdrive=m"

You can use the add remove hardware to find it and recover it or u can restore the system to last week. it must have saved a image before naming it.
