Where have my USB ports/virtual drives gone? I've got a USB card reader (3.5" bay) and this connects to my m/board via internal USB, there is also a standard USB port on this card reader. When I installed the card reader XP (Pro SP2) detected each different reader as a virtual drive, so when I inserted an SD card etc I could drag and drop from within Explorer. I took some photos yesterday and went to drag and drop them from the SD card, but all of the drives that were assigned have gone, only my installed drives now exist, the USB port on the front still works, and when I connected my Ipod to that another drive appeared in Explorer. All the USB devices appear within control panel etc, so I removed them, rebooted the machine, XP did the usual - found new hardware etc, and merily went away and installed these devices, back into Explorer, but still no drive letters assigned. What am I missing here.... |
