Having problems getting a thumb drive to display under "My computer". It's visable in Disk Manager, and I can access the files on it through disk manager, but that isn't a help to the user(who does not have admin permissions and can't go to My Computer--> Manage)
Already tried to rename/map it. If I restart the comp with the drive in a port, it'll see it upon log in, but if you remove it and put it back in it's back to being invisible(in My Computer).
Other USB drives have the same effect.
HALP!

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

My bad, I should have specified.

Already tried that, also tried to map it.Azazal wrote:If you change the drive letter in disk management, does it show up in My Computer?
If you put it in out and take it out you'll eventually get it to show up, which would have made me think it's a bad Thumb drive or port (tried about 4 different ports) but it's the same when I try to put in a different thumb drive.
I hear tell there's something in the registry that can be altered to alliviate the problem but my google-fu is particularly weak today, it seems.
