I used Acronis True Image Home 2010 to clone a Dane-Elec zLight 8Gb pen drive/USB flash drive to a PNY Attaché 16Gb USB flash drive. Now WinXP shows the drive in device manager as USB DISK 2.0 USB DEVICE but doesn't have it in My Computer/doesn't assign it a drive letter.

What is it that has messed up the PNY Attaché and is there some way to repair it so that it can be used as a regular USB flash drive again?

Is there a safe way to clone a USB flash drive to another larger one?

How safe is it to backup and restore a USB flash drive to/from a drive-image?
