Guest CommandLineJunkie Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 My jump drive works fine if I have it plugged into the USB port when I boot the computer. However, if I boot the computer without the drive plugged in, it won't recognize it when I do plug it in. I've tried to let the computer find it as new hardware, but it doesn't see it. Anyone got a fix for this one? Thanks

Guest CommandLineJunkie Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: SE and Lexar jump drive Tried both downloads, but the problem persists. The jump drive is actually listed in Device Manager as drive F: but won't show up in the file manager unless it's installed prior to boot. At least I can use it though.........
