mbed drive disappears

I'm new to mbed, after I copied helloworld to the mbed drive, the drive disappears. The blue light on the board blinks but I can't see the drive. I've tried reboot my pc, i've tried holding down the reset button on the board and plug in the device, I still can't see the mbed drive. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong please.

Thanks

That should not happen as a result from loading helloworld. Assuming there is no hardware problem with mbed, it could be the usb cable, make sure it is connected properly. When the plug is not inserted all the way you will have power but no usb connection. Perhaps try another cable in case it has an internal broken wire. You may also want to try another usb port or another pc just to find out where the problem is.
