MP3 Player not showing in Windows Explorer

[Guest]

After connecting my MP3 player via USB, it doesn't appear in Windows
Explorer. I checked under Device Mgr., and it appears there. I tried it on
my laptop and it works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

An MP3 player works similar to an USB memory stick: The system allocates
the next free drive letter. If this letter has been occupied by a mapped
network drive for instance, the MP3 player (USB stick) does not show up.

Several ways to fix including the XP disk management tool and third-
party utilities. Anyway, I recommend to move the mapped network drives
towards drive letters starting with the letter M: or so and the problem
should be resolved.
