Guest gary Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Just got a new usb 4g SanDisk Cruzer jump drive. Plugged into my desktop and it worked fine. Copied files to and from. Plugged into my laptop and Windows XP SP3 sees the new drive being installed in the tray but when I go to "My Computer" the system doesn't give me a drive icon. I can go to "CMD" prompt and change to f: and type"dir" and it sees the drive in DOS. What gives??

Guest gary Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Re: no drive icon for usb cruze drive That's the prob. The only place I find it is in the CMD prompt. I see it in System, Hardware and it is assigned drive f:. It just doesn't show up in the Windows GUI.

Right click on "My Computer" and go to "Manage" then from disk management see how the drive letter is assigned. > "philo" <philo@privacy.net> wrote in message > news:erin5OYMJHA.6000@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > > > > "gary" <grsalvo@pacbell.net> wrote in message > > news:%23dbOMWXMJHA.468@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > >> Just got a new usb 4g SanDisk Cruzer jump drive.

Guest Bob I Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Re: no drive icon for usb cruze drive Drive letter got hidden. Download TweeakUI from Microsoft, and UNhide it. gary wrote: > That's the prob. The only place I find it is in the CMD prompt. I see it in > System, Hardware and it is assigned drive f:.
