Flash Drive Problem

[DMWCSD]

Hi, some of my users have been having problems with their flash drives. They generally work fine, but frequently will not be recognized. Sometime I can use the command prompt to access the drive, but windows refuses to recognize it. This has happened on a variety of drive types. Has anyone experienced this type of problem? Thanks for any assistance.

They generally work very well on their own in win xp, win xp assigns and installs the driver needed and gives the drive a number, which you can change in disk management.

You should point out your os.

You might check disk management for the removable drive. I have had trouble when XP decides to map the Flash to the same letter as a network drive.

If the removable drive doesnt show up in my computer would it still show up in disk management?

Yes.
