Kelly; My USB drive shows up as drive F, and then E, on two different
systems. The first system has a C drive, two CD drives, followed by the
flash memory.
Since the original post I tried to format the USB Flash Drive. Format
failed, now Win XP sees the drive as unformatted and will not write or read
any data. I'm taking it back tonight.
I've also tried a second Win XP Pro system with identical results. It would
be nice to know if 512MB Flash Drives play well with XP?
