Removable Memory Problem :(

I hope im posting in correct forum.

I have a maxell 12gb removable memory (HDD) usb stick.

For so reason it isnt being "found" by any pc i use.
I put it in any usb in any pc, the pc beep to confirm instertion,
but the drive doesnt auto-run or even show in the my computer option.
But sometimes when i click on the safely remove hardware icon in the tray, there is an option for the maxell drive. The mem stick also lights up, so it does have power?

Im baffled!?
