Win SP2 conflict with Pen Drive
A few months ago I had a problem using my Pen Drive USB 2.0 128MB
(Flash drive, Legend.). To accessing the files I've to plug it into the USB port click on the A: drive then I click on the icon key and the following message pop up: 'Please insert the device or Please run this utility as privileged user.' I am using the Administrator account and there's no other account is setting up and the Device is Inserted. Its doesn't happened before I've installed Win SP2. At the time I contact their support service and they didn't gave much help. So what I did was to remove windows service pack 2 and my Pen Drive running fine. Now I have no choice but to install service pack 2 again, and I still get the same error with the following above message. What's the problem? Does anybody came across this problem before? Please if you know anything about this help me out I appreciated for all your help and advice. Thank you. Caddy |

Have you tried changing the drive letter to something higher (eg G: or H: perhaps) at least higher than your current highest drive/partion. Don't go as high as W, X, Y, Z as they are normmally used for mapped network drives. How to.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...307844&sd=tech |

When you plug the USB drive in does the drive appear on "My Computer" as Drive A:? (or did I missunderstand?) Does the USB drive appear as drives F,G,H and I or is that another removable device(s)? If the USB pen drive appears as drive A: try changing it to something unused like M: For instructions see..

Is there a 3.5" floppy drive installed in your PC? Does that appear as drive A: when the pen drive is disconnected? If you don't have a floppy drive then perhaps fitting one would force the pen drive to another drive letter? |

No. There're no 3.5 Floppy drive installed. and it doesn't show any
Drive A: on the "My Computer" either. its Only show up the 3.5 floppy (drive A when I plug my Pen Drive into the USB port. If i unplug it the Pen Drive, the 3.5 floppy (drive A will disappear. Any other ideas...? |

The only thing I can think of trying is to actually fit a floppy drive so that it takes the A: slot then try connecting the pen drive. Might work and Floppy drives are quite cheap. Think I got one for $10 once. |

Think I got one for $10 once. You don't need a real drive. Just enable it in the BIOS and DOS and Win 2K/XP allocate A. Most likely, the pen drive moves to B. I would check the pen drive CD for software to configure or format. |
