You need to install the software for the external drive, before
connecting the external drive to the USB Port, first. Thou, some support for
external drives are built-in into Windows XP. If your External Drive came
with a CD, with Software, then install the Software first. Reboot and
connect the External Drive to the USB port.
My computer recoginzes my usb port but it won't assign it a letter, so the
way I have to get use my jump drive is by going into disk management. It
shows up then I assign it a letter temporarly. I've reinstalled windows
xp
but still have the same problem. The only removalble storage divices that
are recognized are A for the floppy disk and drive D. Can anyone help me?
