Pls Help! My computer re-assigned names so the USB port is now called [View all]

Teh D drive.

I am attempting to use a new Memory stick. It is listed as being compliant with my machine (XP, WIndows)

I am putting the device into the USB port, which was once considered to be the H drive. That port is now listed as D drive.

Yet the computer itself keeps telling me that I cannot copy over my files into the memory stick until I put the stick into the D drive. It is already there.

Why is the computer confused? And yes, I have poked around with this and made sure the device is securely embedded into the USB port (Carefully avoiding the Trident symbol port)

and had the spouse help too. Still ain't working.
