Using USB drives - XP not recognising?
Hello, has anyone got any experience of & know a fix for why WinXp Pro will not assign a drive letter to (unbranded) USB drives?
When I plug them in (P3/700 - XP Pro SP2) they get recognised & appear in device manager, however they are not assigned a drive letter in my computer or IE, so I cannot find it.
I have looked on Google but can only find the same question & no fixes.
