I put a USB flash drive into one of the USB ports. I get
notification that it has been installed, but it does not
show up in either "My Computer" or Windows Explorer. When
I do a "system" show, it does show up. Anyone got a clue
as to why it won't show in the other two??
 
I think it is a bug in Windows XP that was not in Windows
2000. If with batch files you have the last available
drive letter mapped to a network drive Windows XP gets
confused and does not report too new devices USB drives
for example what the next available drive letter is and
does not assign a drive letter to it. Un-plug your network
and then try again your USB drive will now have a drive
letter.
