Device not recognised after sp2

[Carole UK]

Hi there,

I'm helping a friend with his PC - he installed SP2 recently from a disk and
everything seemed fine except that his memory stick (which he keeps all his
data on) 'disappeared'. No error messages - you just couldn't see it at all.
I did a restore to remove SP2 and it reappeared again.
I'd like to get him onto SP2 eventually - can you explain what's happening
here please ? Thanks.
