Did you format it before you put things on it? Depending on what operating systems you're using (assuming you're sharing the files between computers) it may need to be in a certain format to show the files on all computers.

I have never had to format a pen drive, but the computer I looked for the files on is the same one I used to load them onto the pen drive.

Sometimes it behaves erratically unless you format it prior to putting the files on it. (I don't know why, I assume it's the hardware equivalent of "turn it off and on again"). So it might be worth trying format -> put files on -> check for files again.

smallholdingsister

I will try that but some of the files I no longer have.
I did check they had copied ok initally and they had, but then !!!!!!!

DS is conked out in bed and I have just switched our internet provider.

Oh dear....... However, fwiw, I did find that I didn't use half of the stuff I saved because my new schools had lots of stuff too.

Hope you get some sleep,

You have been busy! Can't wait to switch my broadband! Did you get some good cashback deals?

Great news with all the switching! Hope ds is better?
I am also one who moved jobs with nothing. In fact I left work one day we all piled into my clio and I didn't bring as much as a notepad with me. I left filing cabinets full of resources, as well as the eletronic stuff and I really didn't miss them. You'll be fine although I understand its frustrating as you had planned it so well.
