Hi there,
I have now developed a new removable drive problem under windows 2000 and am out of ideas to fix it. Please can someone help!!
basically whenever I connect my USB flash drive to the PC, It appears in my computer as Local Drive(E) with the HD icon. If you try to open the drive I always get an error mesaage saying "cannot open drive, parameter not correct". I have tried formatting the drive, deleting the partition and reinstating it but it does not work. I have also tried mounting it under a directory and changing the drive letter. Neither seem to have any effect
The drive still seems to work ok on other pc's though. It did not come with any drivers and as far as I can tell was designed to be driverless for all versions of windows from 98 onwards
When I plug in my digital camera, which also appears a removable drive. I get a similar problem. This time though I get the removable drive icon and the drive is called removable drive(E) but when I try to open it I just get a message telling me to insert a disk as you would expect it you clicked on floppy drive without a disk in the drive.
With both items under properties they show as full with 0MB space and 0Mb capacity.
I am totally out of ideas and am now stuck with a plash disk I can't use and a camera with pictures on that I can't download. I do not want to have to completely format and reinstall windows unless I really have to.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it or if there is some software I can get to do it.
Please help!!!!
