Kind people,

I am running win2000 v5.0 sp4 at home. I have a SanDisk Cruzer 256 mb
usb "disk" which works fine on several XP systems at work and on my
FreeBSD system as well.
It is formatted as it came from the factory. When I plug the SanDisk
into my home machine, it lights up, blinks, but never shows up in My
Computer.
It does show up in ComputerManagement > Storage > Disk Management, but
has not
been assigned a drive letter. Attempting to assign one gives the
message
"The operation did not complete because the partition/volume is not
enabled.
Please reboot the computer to enable the partition/volume."

Needless to say, rebooting had no effect. Attempting to format gives
the same
error message.

Current working drives are a: (floppy) c: and d: (hard drives) e:
(dvd) f: (cd reader/burner).

Does anybody have any insight as to what the problem might be and how
to
correct it?
Thank you
Paul
