Re: Thumb Drive Issues

I can set available drive letters with tweakuixp
perhaps the inaccessible drive letters have been disabled, with tweakuixp

Hello, I have a client running Windows XP Pro SP2. We just swapped his PC
and
now he can't get any of his thumb drives to be recognized. He has three
thumb
drives that showed up fine on the old PC. I think they had random drive
letters like I:\. His current PC has C and D used by the hard drive, E:\
by
the CDROM and F:\ G:\ M:\ R:\ S:\ by mapped drives. I moved the CDROM to
drive Z which allowed one thumb drive to grab drive E:\. However, I still
can't get the other 2 thumb drives to show up. I already applied a patch
from
Microsoft that seemed like it addressed this issue - but it didn't. The
patch
was from KB297694. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
