I tried the KB without success, so.....
I had a corrupted registry, and had to format and re-install XP Pro.
Before I formated I was able to save (I thought) a bunch of fairly important
"stuff" on a portable (160 GB) USB hard drive, at that time drive "M".
After re-installing XP and all my programs from a seperrate hard drive
(Norton Ghost), I tried to access the info on the portable USB drive "M".
I can't seem get there from here!!! How do I get at the information on the
now USB drive "G" ???
Thanks, Ron

How was this "save" done?

What do you see on the USB drive?
 
How was this "save" done?
I clicked on a folder copied it and sent it and it's contents to drive "M".
or I picked it up and dragged it over to the drive "M".
Then I went and checked on drive "M" and saw that the folder and it's
contents were in fact on drive "M"
What do you see on the USB drive?

I can't access the USB drive, seems to lock up.

When you try to access the G: drive, do you get a permissions error? Was the
"rebuild" of your machine done by pushing a Ghost image to it? Was drive M:
formatted as NTFS, or FAT32? Can you take ownership of the drive through the
Security properties?
 
HI.
I get no eror message at all. The drive comes up in "my computer", if I
highlight that drive and try to "explore" the dialog box freezes up and I
have to disconnect the drive to get out.
I've tried to get at it through "device manager" same thing happens as soon
as i hit a tab or two in device manager to try and find info or something to
do it freezes up again
The "rebuild" was done by formating my "C" drive and re-installing XP pro,
then installing Norton Ghost, then having Ghost copy and deposit all of my
"stuff" that I had saved in the ghost backucp on my "F" drive back on to the
"C" drive that now had only XP on it.
Formated as a fat32
I tried "saving" a copy of the USB dick back to "C".--- everything that had
anything to do on screen with the "G" USB drive froze up, had to unplug the
USB drive and clear off all the dead windows.

Did you re-install the required motherboard chipset drivers?
