Recently I bought a new USB drive: a Kingston DataTraveler 1.0GB. I
installed it in the regular fashion, but I can't seem to access the
drive from Windows Explorer: it doesn't show in the Explorer, and when
I try to access it with "start j:", a box shows up saying "This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer." BUT, it accesses fine in the Command Prompt: not only can I
change to J:, I can also copy files to it, and even open files on J:
(by using "start j:blahblah.blah").
My WinXP box is pre-SP1 and SP2 (I haven't been able to install either
Pack)... is this a factor or not? And what can I do about it?
PS: The strangest thing is, my previous USB drive, a 512MB from the
same line worked fine. Hmm...
