usb-drive

So, I plug-in my USB stick, copy a file from the hard drive to the USB stick, and safely remove the USB stick. I then plug out the USB stick.

When I plug the USB stick back into the computer again, the previous contents of the USB stick are all gone. It shows an empty drive.

I am using Windows XP SP 2 with an 8 GB USB stick from Transcend.
