IT Crew: Thumb drive not showing up

It installs, etc… etc… says ready to use I can see it in the device manager…yet no drive shows up in “My Computer”

go…

It works on other computers in the office :confused:

do u have mapped drives of any kind, you might have to manually set the thumb drive letter.

yes, I thought this might be the problem I have about 7 mapped network drives…

How do I go about manually assigning a drive letter, I couldn’t see any option in the device props…

yeah the thumb drive is trying to take over a mapped drive, just change it manually.

yeah how…If I go into Device Manager, select the drive, and goto volumes everything is empty…If I click populate, it sets it to drive F (a network drive) but then gives me all the details for the network drive…it wont let me change it :gotme:

the easy way is to disconnect F, then the drive will use that letter, but im sure F is something important to your company.

yeah F is our main network drive…I’d rather not disconnect it…this is also the reason why I was having problems with the iPod (see ranting thread)…

Oh there’s also processes running off the F drive…

Fuck it, I re-mapped F to G and disconnected F

Go into computer management and then disk management. Change the drive letter there.

right click the drive in my computer and change the letter there. I usually call them Z

yay done…changed F to Z, remapped VOL1 to F

:tup: :tup:

:ham: on me for not doing into Disk Management

now u can get that SHITpod working :slight_smile:

lol @ shitpod
