Sony VAIO - PCMCIA USB 2.0 Problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Just to be sure, did you check for the new drives in Disk Management?
Sometimes XP assigns flash drives a letter that is already in use by some
other device. If the drive shows up in Disk Management, you can change the
drive letter there to something unique. If it's not showing up in Disk
Management, that's a problem that I can't help you with.
