USB mass storage device
I am using Windows 98 and successfully installed Nusb31e for my computer to
detect my USB mass storage device. It detects it and displays it under the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” application, but it did not assign it a drive so I am unable to actually open the device. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to have the computer actually do more then detect it? Thank you |

We need more details e.g. which function or Windows app makes you think Win98 detects this device but does not assign a drive letter? (My Computer = EXPLORER.EXE.) There are several possible causes. What drive letters are free? Drive letters can be restricted by AUTOEXEC.BAT, by TweakUI settings etc. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

I know it is detected since I can see it in the Unplug or Eject Hardware app.

Exactly what do you see via the Safely Remove Hardware tray icon?
When you single-click the tray icon, you should see a pop-up box like a tool-tip, stating "Safely remove USB mass storage device - Drive (x)" or words to that effect, where (x) is the drive letter that was assigned to the device. If it does not appear there, it should appear when you double-click the tray icon, and expand the list of hardware devices that appears (This is from memory as I am not on a 98 system at the moment). What do you see via single- and double-click on the icon? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Biocellguy" wrote in message ...

Maybe the drive isn't formatted? Or formatted with something Win98xE can't read? (NTFS)? -- Nah-ah. I'm staying out of this. ... Now, here's my opinion. Please followup in the newsgroup.

If so, what do you see under Properties - Settings? - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
