no drive icon for usb cruze drive

[Guest gary]

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??

Use Window Explorer, if it's there then it should be in "My Computer"

 

maybe the icon is just off-screen?

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.

If you can access it from the command prompt

it should be seen in Windows Explorer.

 

Right click on "My Computer" and go to "Manage"

 

then from disk management see how the drive letter is assigned.

Drive letter got hidden. Download TweeakUI from Microsoft, and UNhide it.
