I used my USB stick just a few hours ago on my university's library computer, but when I tried to use it on my home PC, it wouldn't show up at all. I've plugged it into a few other computers too, but no luck. Is there any way to fix this? I really need to access the data on it!

Just a heads up: USB drives should always just have copies of your important data for this reason! Keep things backed up. I get your predicament, though—especially if you just saved university work on it!

Be cautious! Sometimes public computers can cause issues with USB sticks, like infections from viruses. That might be what happened here.

You might want to try plugging the drive into a computer and checking Disk Management. If it doesn't show up there, it could be a sign that the USB stick is dead.
