oldtimercurt Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 This device used to work fine. Now something has gone haywire--in my system or the device--I just don't know. When I plug the device into a USB2 port on the front of the computer, the blue light flashes several times and windows sounds the recognition. However, when I look at My Computer, the device isn't there. But what's baffling me is it shows up as a disk drive under Device Manager. Can anyone give me some ideas. This is driving me batty. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 so supposedly the USB2 drivers are there and they show up in device manager under USB. Enhanced driver is Intel Version 5.0.2.1001, 6/25/2003. Thanks for any help.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 18, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 18, 2006 Chances are you may not have a drive letter available for it to set the Drive. Do you have any net work drives mapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimercurt Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't have any network drives although between the two internal drives and card reader (3), every drive letter but "B" is assigned. Do you think that might be the problem? I'l combine a couple of the smaller partitions and see if that helps. Thanks for the idea. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 18, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 18, 2006 With it connected open disk manager from computer managment! And see whats listed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimercurt Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 OK, I merged a total of 4 partitions freeing up some drive letters. I get the same reaction as before. In Disk Management it shows as Disk 8, Basic FAT, Healthy(Active), 992MB capacity, 702MB free. I do have a small amount of data on it so that seems reasonable. Any more suggestions? Don't you just love a good mystery! Thanks for your help. OTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 19, 2006 See if it will let you assign a drive letter to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimercurt Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 That did it. I can now access data-at least after setting a drive letter for it. Certainly learned a bit on this episode. Thanks for the help OTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwhy Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I've had a similiar situation occur with my CMFUSB2.0-1GB. After formating the flash drive, and partitioning it(989mb, 2mb) the PC wouldn't recognize the secured part(2mb) of the drive(after entering the password). I have 3 mapped network drives on this pc(G, J, & S), and it appears in disk management that the G drive is the secured portion of the microdrive, but when clicking on that drive in disk management and going to properties, it actually showed the mapped network G drive(8.5GB). So, I changed the drive letter per the suggestion here, and the PC now see's the correct G drive, and the 2 correct drives for the flash memory. Just in case someone else has this same issue :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
