Installation of SanDisk Cruzer Micro Skin USB 8GB

I am trying to transfer data on the above USB stick. The USB stick shows up
as installed in the "Hardware", however it does not show up in "My Computer"
with its allocated "L". All other USB devices show up as A,C,D,E,F,G,J and K
and work correctly. What shall I do to get the stick available for storage.
(Windows XP Home German version, all updates installed).
Thanks for help.

Does it show up in Disk Manager?

Ok, go to Start, Run, and type in L: then press enter

If the contents show up then the "L" drive has been hidden. If this is
the case, download TweakUI from Microsoft, and use it to UNhide "L"
