Checked all usb ports & opening MY COMPUTER the drive letter of the USB HDRIVE(s) does not appear.I see C, D as drive 0 & 1 Drive 3 & 4 or more .. I have to insert them using using , START, right clk My Computer, Manage, disk management,right click the drive & Add/change the drive letter & paths …Then I can access the drive….
The drive(s) appear in the DISK MANAGER ( no yellow)prior to doing the above
I cannot see the drives until I add them via the above routine. All drivers are OK, DELL says to re-format the drives ..I say no because any USB HDRIVE does not appear..I am looking at all the the drivers for the DELL 4550
I smell it is a WINDOWS XP PRO problem ..Windows did a self check & shows no problem.
