Assign Drive Letter

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

I just hooked up a 512 mb flash drive to the USB port. It does
not see the drive when I open windows explorer. I think I remember
shortening my drive list a long time ago but I forgot how I did it.
Can someone tell me how to increase the assigned drive list?

Let me be more specific. I am using windows ME. It does show the drive
for the USB assigned to H in the system
information/summary/components/storage/drives. However when I go to
explorer it does not show it there. When I go to the dos command promp
it does show H. Why doesn't it show in explorer?

In your original post, you suggested that you "remember shortening my drive
list a long time ago"

Well, there is certainly a utility in TweakUI which lets you 'hide'
(selected) drives, which matches your description/symptoms.

Maybe you could see if it will undo what you did 'a long time ago' and
'unhide' the drive.

You can download TweakUI from Microsoft at :-
