I know your pain. I have a Kanguru USB 1 Gig. Micro
Drive that's been a real headache. My PC at home uses
Windows XP Home. The USB drive is recognized and listed
in the system tray, but I can view some of the files on
the drive in Windows Explorer. The products manufacturer
is very little help.

Does it work on any other system? Are you sure it is good, and
not defective?

I use the Jumpdrive 64MB on my XP machines at home, and my Win2K
machines at work, with no problems of any sort. No drivers
needed. It gets recognized autmatically as a new drive letter.

What happens on your system?

I use a 1G Kanguru USB 2 Micro Drive at work with no
issue. Our work PC's use Windows 2000 Pro. At home I
have issues using the USB Drive. I have Windows XP Home
on our home PC. The USB Drive doesn't view in Windows
Explorer. I have to open Computer Management and Explore
the Drive (it shows as Drive Z, Mass Storage Device).
It's just a minor issue I wish I could resolve. I've
contacted the manuf. and received much advice from some
real geeks, but I can't resolve this viewing issue.

I had the same problem. Thanks to John's computer management hint, I
was able to determine what the issue is with my system. It turns out
that XP wants to assign the next drive letter after the last PHYSICAL
drive assigned. However, I already had network shares mounted on the
next two drive letters, and it would be a major pain to change them.
So my last physical drive is D:, and XP put my lexar drive at E:, even
tho I already had network shares on E: and F:. As soon as I used
computer management to change the drive letter on the lexar media to
G:, everything works. I only hope this config lasts over a reboot, but
if not, it's an annoyance, not a big problem.

Hope this helps...
