cant get any data from USB stick. Computer recognises the USB is in the port but requests for it to be inserted when I call for a previously create file or go to save on it, the message is the disk drive is not in use. Tried USB on another computer so thats nothe reason. Any ideas??

Welcome to TSF....

If the USB thumb drive works on another computer then first thing is to make a backup of the data on the thumb drive so you do not loose it.

Since the drive works on another USB port on another computer we can safely figure the drive is alright, so this means it is more than likely the USB post you are inserting the drive into on the computer that has a problem. Have you tried a different USB port on this computer? If not please try it and post back the results...

Yes I have tried the USB in all 4 ports on this laptop and also on a collegues computer stack and the same result. Believe the data is still on the stick but dont know how to get passed the issue of the port not recognising the fact the USB is in the port.
