Rob,
Your Cruzer Mini may not be mounting because another device is using the
same drive letter as the Cruzer has used in the past - this has happened to
me on more than one occasion on WINXP. The tell-tail sign from my experience
is that the Cruzer device will be visible in "Unplug or Eject Hardware", but
its file system will not visible to Explorer.
My recollection is that you have to go into "Admin Tools" under "Computer
Management" and use "Storage --> Disk Management" to re-assign a drive
letter for the Cruzer. This problem can come and go depending on your system
config and hardware.
Also, you may want to try that Cruzer in a couple of other PCs before giving
up on it.
Like Fred, I always try to use "Unplug or Eject Hardware" to gracefully
remove the so-called Plug-and-Pray USB Mass Storage Devices. When I was lazy
or impatient, I occasionally wound up with corrupted files.
