Pocket Disc
My Seagate USB Pocket Disk is not recognized as a drive letter by XP.?
I have a Seagate Pocket Drive (USB 2.0). Has been working fine for several months. As of two days ago, it is no longer recognized as a drive letter when I connect it to my home PC running XP Pro with SP2. The drive is fine, as I can use it at work.
At home I connect it to the front USB 2.0 port, and it’s blue indicator light comes on, but I never get the usual prompt in Windows to open a folder to browse the contents, etc. In Windows Explorer, there is no new drive letter as before. It also used to show an a specific icon – lookalike of the drive.
There is no driver to install – when I first bought the device and connected it, it was immediately recognized as a drive letter.
I checked the USB controller in the XP Device Manager, and it lists the USB Mass Storage Drive – working properly.
Nothing has changed on my PC since the device was last working as expected a few days ago. And another brand of USB disk works fine!
Any ideas would be very much appreciated!
its because you have to assign it another drive letter, its conflicting w/another drive letter, to assign it a new drive letter
right click on my computer
go to manage
disk management
highlight your device
right click on it and choose change device letter
pick a device letter that is not being used
