Two of everything?
Hi guys, Have an interesting problem after installing a USB Mass-storage device on 98se system - installation went well BUT... The problem is that in My Computer each partition on the drive gets shown twice and each gets its own letter. Any ideas? |

How big is the storage device? Run scandisk and see what happens.

-- I just bought a caddie and it has happened with various old HD's varying from 2-6gb, which I wanted to check out before selling on or donating - I assume that it is not a size issue. I formatted them and scandisked them, so to give a fresh start and an empty drive. No such problem on an XP set-up. |

Does the device appear more than once in Device Manager?
