I have come across this problem a lot at school (so have a lot of other students at my school), and surprisingly teachers don’t even know how to fix this. I never thought of googling it (DUH!) before until today when I was in photography class. So I hope this help anyone who is having trouble getting their USB Flash Drive to pop up on “My Computer” **If this does not happen to you ever, then this is a nice tip to keep in mind for the future.

I have an external Western Digital Hard Drive. Capacity is 150 GB. It was divided into three NTFS logical partitions of 50 GB each long time ago. I rearraged and moved all the data from the hard drive as i wanted to resize the partition. The extend volume partition was greyed on all three logical drives. So i decided to move the data and delete the partitons and then reformat the hard drive.
I deleted the three partitions. Instead of showing me Unallocated space, it is showing me "Free Space" with green bar on top under computer management -> disk management. Now i right clicked on it and clicked "New Simple Volume" and tried to format ot usinf NTFS.
I am getting this error
"There is not enough space available on the disks to complete this operation" .
I just bought a new USB 2.0 Mini-Reader flash drive. I’m trying to put pictures on it and when I try to copy them onto the Removable Disk (G:) or something like that, it says to "please insert disc". The USB flash drive came with no disk and I am confused on to what it means. I have a windows vista laptop and I am not sure what to do. Please help!!
