Ok this problem is driving me nuts.
I recently upgraded to xp pro sp2 (from home). Before I used my ipod and flash disk on home (mass storage).
After installing xp pro i found that it couldn't recognize them in explorer!!.

Heres what i have tried and other info:

• I have installed the latest chipset drivers
• Tried removing all USB devices and rebooting
• Tried using other usb flash sticks
• all other usb devices DO work, just mass storage that doesnt

Computer info:

• Windows xp pro sp2
• Dell dimension 4600

All help will be much appreciated

Info

I can access the drive only through disk manager.

I think its got something to do with windows not automatically assigning a drive letter on startup.
