Re: USB disk drive (or flash) does not get drive letter

When I plug in a USB external disk drive, or a flash memory card, the device does not show in Windows Explorer. Disk management shows the disk drive (not the flash memory) but it has no drive letter and I cannot assign one (Change drive or path grayed out). I do have an E: drive which is evidently the memory card port on my photo printer - never used. (I have 2 hard disks C and D, my CD and DVD are assigned P and Q).

Sounds to me like the daemon tools problem:
