This is the second time it has happened to the same memory stick in last one year. Previously it happened when I inserted it at the time when PC was loading programs after boot in but it recovered automatically after few weeks when I checked it just before I was about to bin it.
This time I was working on my office's Windows XP service pack one PC and the memory stick inserted into USB drive was working fine. Unfortunately I logged off before removing it from the USB port. When I logged on again, there was no flickering light on it, no icon on the load in/launch bar, nothing shown on the "my computer". I have tried using it on three PCs on the same network but none of them shows any thing. I can not access administrator settings in manage section. Any bright ideas?

i must add this to my link above :
Go in device manager and delete usb device
take stick out, and reconnect - he'll say USB Device found
run EZ_recovery (accept error warning)
he will want the driver for USB Device (2515.sys in C:\windows\system32\driver
run EZ_recovery again, disconnect and reconnect the usb stick - Done!
