Okay, here's my problem of the day.
In the past, I've used my PNY Attache 4GB flash drive as a USB hard
disk. I've had multiple partitions on it in windows xp, specifically.
Recently, though, it's started acting more like a USB floppy drive.
Windows won't let me add more than one partition to it, and in Computer
Management, it's showing up as "removable" (though, I'm not sure what
it used to show up as).
I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, I did... something... to the
drive to make it act this way.
This problem is not isolated to my computer. Roomie's computer does the
same.
I've been googling for about two hours now, trying to find a helpful
answer, but to no avail.
What would cause this, and how can I let my USB drive know that it's
not a floppy (or some other run-of-the-mill removable media)?
Thanks for any help!
