I Cannot USE my USB removable storage device- Winn 2003

[atheeralattar]

Cheers all,
I have a win 2003 Server PC, the problem is that I have a USB Hard Drive and when I attach this Hard or any other USB attached Storage device I cannot use them, Yes I can see its icon appeared at the system tray, but I found nothing in my computer window...Nothing at all....has any one been crossed by this....

Thank you

It may be trying to get a drive letter that is already in use. You can change the letter assigned by:
Right-click My Computer, select Manage.
Once that window opens, select Disk Management.
In the bottom right-hand pane, you shouls see your USB drive and what drive letter is assigned to it. Right-click the drive and select Change Drive Letter.
Change the drive letter to one not being used.
