    I have a USB flash disc with 4gig capacity... It just happened that it can't be read by my PC, and even other PCs... I cant format it but it still shows an "icon" in "my computer". It says "insert a disc in drive ___" whenever I try to access it. What can I do? There are important files in it. Thanks!

    try installing the newest chipset drivers (for your mobo), i had this problem and (intel) chipset drivers did the trick.
    Somehow windows did no read the USB port correctly

    See if you can reformat the drive... using FAT32.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be trying those out... I'll keep this post open until I've solved the problem. Many thanks!
