OCUK mighty people save me 
I need to get this working before tomorrow!!
I bought a 32GB flash drive (i cant say what make as its a competitor...but i have searched for any software/drivers for it and come up with none).
Windows 7 64bit fully updated
Gigabyte ga-m720-us3 mobo - as far as i can tell its up to date as possible
Ive been able to try it on a wide selection of laptops running windows 7 - all work perfectly.
Tried it on windows XP PC - look in my computer and all looks good, finishes installing and issues below happen.
So my PC:
Plug it in, installs driver. and appear in my computer and the fun starts:
double click - "removable disk (K: )" error message "please insert a disk into removable disk (K: )" (the icon then goes shaded.)
The pen drive itself is fine on all others after trying various tools on it (its no fake from what i can tell..formated it, random usb tools, all good).
What i have tried:
windows updates/drivers/disk management/formatting/command line options/bios settings/deleting a few registry files.
Things im about to try as i wait for wonderful replies:
Windows DVD in pc and try it...maybe try booting from it or access it before windows.
Try on my other PC and games consoles/dvd players see if it works.
Test other usb flash drives on offending PC (ones i have tried have worked - but have found none over 2GB yet.
My mum is wanting one, and it works on her laptop - so happy mothers day if no fix. But i dont want to then buy another (more expensive/reliable/well known) pen drive to find out its an issue with 32GB or something stupid.
