The issue with the USB drive (assuming the device is working properly) is that Windows will assign it a drive letter, which is probably the E: drive. Since that's already in use it won't show up in "My Computer", but will make the USB noise and act normal otherwise.
To correct this you can manually assign each device their own drive letter (start with the bottom of the alphabet so there are no future conflicts).
1. Insert the device (camera or usb drive)
2. Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
3. Click on "Disk Management"
4. Right-click the item in the list that looks like your camera or usb drive, and then click "Change Drive Letter and Paths."
5. Click "Change".
6. Give it a drive letter that is not being used.
7. Click OK.
The device should work instantly after that.
