    Anthony Maw post #31 - thank you, you¡¯ve fixed my problem. Am on Vista and updated to Vista SP1 when a previously recognised external USB drive doesn¡¯t show in Explorer anymore. Followed your instructions re: Show Hidden Devices and it worked! So thanks again.

    Funny thing is that I went into MMC and accessed the drive via right click / explore¡¦ never thought to look for a conflicting drive letter. But you were right on the money. Thanks!

    This was exactly the information I was looking for. I knew what the problem was but I didn¡¯t know where to change it. Thank you.

    the article described my problem to the t but the solution was one i had already attempted and which had failed. after going through disk mgmt and assigning a drive letter i am able to explore it ONLY through disk mgmt, it still will not show up in my comp or explorer. furthermore, when i disconnect my usb drive and reconnect it later i have to follow the same procedures to access it, additionally, the letter i had previously assigned to it is no longer available in the drop down menu of available letters. the device works fine on all other computers and OS¡¯s, i¡¯ve had this problem for almost a year with no solution. and no, i have no other drives interfering, just the c: and a cd drive. any help would be appreciated

    The problem has two possibilities: One is that a mapped drive letter supercedes the physical drive letter that Windows wants to assign. The solution is to change the highest mapped drive letter, like E: or F: drive to a letter lower down like G: or H: and then remount the USB drive. This issue is documented on a M$ KB. The other possible cause of the problem is that the volsnap.sys driver does not recognize the external USB device volume and thus does not assign it a drive letter. The solution is to open Device Manager, click View and then Show Hidden Devices. Down the list under Storage Volumes there is an Unknown Device. Right click on it, select Update Driver and let it automatically search. It should reinstall the drive as a Generic Storage device and then correctly assign a drive letter after that.

    This information really helped. My TSonic 610 MP3 player was not getting assigned a drive letter on Windows XP. I followed the instructions and went to Disk Management and assigned a different drive letter to the MP3 player. The problem was that the drive letter was already in use by a mapped network drive. Thanks a lot for sharing this information.

    I had a similar problem and I was able to resolve it. I found that the USB port connecter was not making complete contact with the hard dsik drive. I pressed it a little hard until all the pins were inserted completely. Then I plugged the USB cable to my computer and was able to see it in device manager in ¡°Not initialized¡± status. To initialise it I had to format the drive and lose all the data in my external hard disk.

    If I can remember correctly I noticed this issue after my computer crashed and after restarting my computer, it was running the disk check program which was deleting some indexing or something like it. These files were part of my external hard disk.

    I installed a new 120 gig Seagate hard drive with OEM install CDs from IBM/Lenovo for my Thinkpad. I¡¯ve spent three days trying to solve this problem; I have tried the registry solution presented here, the disk management solution, using Acronis Disk Director Suite, and anything else I could find on the web TO NO AVAIL. I tried to delete the keys and that worked, but once I try to plug in any type of non-hard drive based device Windows XP Pro acts like a blind man with Alzheimers: it thought my USB flash drive was a PCI MODEM!

    If I switch back to my trusty Fujitsu (which used the same system restore CDs by the way) everything is detected with no problems. WTF. Seriously Microsoft, go poke your eyes out with a stick. You won¡¯t even stand behind your own product- charging $99.99 - $550 for incident support is worse than highway robbery. It¡¯s like selling cars without a steering whell and charging for brakes. Keep it up and this life-long PC user who has less and less time for foolishness will buy a Mac. That¡¯ll teach you. (yeah, I know it won¡¯t, but it felt good saying it¡¦).

    Ok, here is my usb problem

    I have a user that when you insert his USB device it assigns it to a network drive. I go into the computer management and change it to another drive. It see it fine. I then plug in a new usb device and it once again reverts to the network drive. I does not keep the setting for the USB that I had assigned to it. It is on a windows XP environment and the system is locked down so that users cannot access the internet without prior approval. The user has had access with the usb drive in the past and I can change it but only for that USB drive. I have gone into administrative tools, computer management, service applications, services, MSsoftware shadow copy provider, then start-up type: set to ¡°automatic¡± and the service status I clicked start thinking that this might work. It did not. Anyone with a suggestion as to how to solve this I would greatly appreciate it.
