I am unable to access USB disk via My Computer as the
drive does not display. The device is working ok as per
the Device Manager and it also displays in the System
Tray.

Regards,
John
 
Hello,
Try to assign a new drive letter to your USB device:

1. Go to control panel
2. Then click on the "administrative tools" icon
3. Open "computer management" ,
4. Click on "disk management"
5. Right click on the "USB device (removable disk)" and
then change the drive letter to another one (that has not
been assigned, ie: K, S, or L)

I hope this helps!

Aisha, Assigning a new drive letter from the default E
works a treat.

Thanks,
John

detected and installed ready for use.but i can not see the drive on my
