Travel Drive Reads/Writes but is hidden

Well, I've had this PC and Travel drive for quite sometime now and they've always
acted friendly with eachother. Until now anyway.
I recently reformatted my PC 3 weeks ago after messing around with some Linux distros
before I partitioned the drive fully back onto ntfs for XPhome.
Anyway, I plug in my travel drive. The blue light blinks normally. When I go to
My Computer.. I don't see Travel Drive(F:) anywhere...
If I go to Run and type in F:, the folder pops up with my stuff. I'm able to to
read and write to it, but I have to go to run inorder to access it.
Now, this wouldn't be a problem except, I use PortableApps.com start menu. I can't
install new portable apps if I can't find the file(Which would be in F:) through
the directory browser.
The only thing I did to try to resolve is go to the device manager at the control
panel and remove the USB Mass Storage device and reboot. I came back and plugged
it back in and watched XP NORMALLY install everything like it would do naturally.
Nothing unusual here..
But still! When I clicked my computer to see my travel drive, it was still not listed
where it normally would be.
Thanks in advance
