USB Mass storage device shows up in device man but not in disk man

[Guest majestik]

Ok,

 

I have a USB Mass storage device that I connect via a powered hub to

my laptop. It has worked in the past, but for some reason, it

recognizes it as a Mass Storage device, then a popup says found new

disk drive.

 

I go into Device Manager, and there it is. It is recognized correctly

and working fine. When I then go into Disk management I do not see it.

I have a c partition on my laptop hard drive, and also an e. I do not

see any other drives.

 

Why is my USB drive not assigning a drive letter to it, and why is it

no showing in disk management? I have another JUST like it, and it

works just fine, plug and "pray" works and assigns it a drive letter.

 

Any ideas? I have tried editing the registry, changing some drive

letters of devices taht have connected in the past. I have tried

uninstalling/reinstalling the device in Computer Management.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Add a System Environment Variable:

DevMgr_Show_NonPresent_Devices

and set it's value = 1

 

Open Device Manager, Click View - Tic/Check "Show Hidden Devices"

Expand the categories "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", Storage Volumes

and Disk Drives one at time and Right Click each entry shown in a

diminished tone (grayed out) and choose Uninstall.

*Do this with all Flash based devices unplugged.

Then re-insert your Flash drives and check Disk Mgmt for a proper

Drive letter assignment.

Yeah, that is the first thing tha came up in a search. It doesn't show

in Disk Management (that is the weird part for me).
