Drive assignemnts not working properly

Anyone? Any suggestions?

I have a dell Inspiron with XP SP2. Basically, none of the devices
I've tried get assigned a drive letter automatically. All devices work
fine on other machines. The devices are seen, and they are seen in
Disk Manager.

When I do create a drive assignment, it doesn't 'work'.
For example, just installed a XM Nexus 25 MP3 player.

In Device manager is the device. So I changed the drive assignment (no
drive letter was assigned), and made it H:.

Now, if I go to start, Run, H:\ <Enter>, I get
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing
this action..."

And it doesn't show in My Computer.

If there's a subdirectory, I can go to it, ie start, run, H:\MyMusic.

I can get to it in DOS, dir shows the directory.

Any ideas?

This is also happening (as an example) on a Creative Nomad2 player I
just installed.

Thanks.


Evan

Sounds like the daemon tools problem:

Many thanks..

I didn't find sptd7021.sys as referenced by the post, but did find
sptd1533.sys in \windows\system32\ .

Is this file safe to delete too? Google shows no results.

Thanks.

sptd1533.sys.

Many thanks!
