Extra Drive letters with USB connected drives
I'm a software developer working to create a driver stack for a
USB/SATA interface based on the UMSS sample. I have a problem on some systems where, after a Device Manager refresh, a physical drive is shown with two drive letters in Explorer. Files created on one of the drive letters are also visible on the other drive letter. Does anyone know whats causing this or (better) how to fix it. TIA. |

The first thing I'd do would be to check for an updated BIOS for the problem
system. Another thing to try is to disconnect the drive. Then boot into Safe mode and remove the drives and then try clean booting before adding the drive back to the system.

Thanks for the input,
I tracked the source of the problem to a pre-W98SE driver C2REC.VXD. If this was present in \Windows\System\Iosubsys, then I'd see the multiple drive letters on device manager refresh. If the VXD was not present, then the problem 'went away'. C2REC.VXD came from CeQuadrat, now part of Roxio. I don't think it's available any more! Stan |
