Hi
Anyone have any suggestions ?

I have an 8Gb Kingston USB stick which was working fine and for no reason is no longer recognised by either of my laptops or Desktop.
It plugs in - makes the sound as recognised - but doesn't display in My Computer
Have tried the usual CHkdsk, looked at device manager etc etc, but all a waste of time - only on the desktop does it show up - and even there it shows as empty.

Are there any programs I can safely try - or someone who would be able to recover the data as it has all my Business spreadsheets on it! ARGH!
