USB memory not recognised in XP Home

[Chris]

I have just bought a USB memory stick, which works a treat
on '98, XP pro, but just can't be loaded into my laptop
with XP Home. It states that Windows certificate is not
recognised.
Can you help me.

Ignore the message. Check the documentation, it probably says this will
happen.

Those sticks should *not* need any drivers of their own loaded in XP.
Just plug it in; you should here the ding on detection, and it should
then appear as a removable drive in My Computer

Well, mine works in WinME and WinXP will not recognize it.

Dual boot PC, same everything. Will be trying SP1a soon.
