I have a similar problem with Windows XP Pro SP2. I have two other Flash
Drives that work fine, but the latest one that I put in is recognized by its
brand name and assigned a drive letter, but it shows no size, and am unable
to assign a volume name, or do anything else. Another Windows XP screw up
that we will have to wait for them to solve. I had a problem that 3 1394
drives were not recognized until I connected each one to their own socket on
a 1394 board with three outputs.

Hope they get this resolved pretty soon. I had a problem a few months ago
where the icons in the notification area on the lower right side of display
in the task bar area would come and go from day to day. I downloaded a
program that seemed to fix that problem, but Microsoft finally solved the
problem themselves by changing how displaying the icons takes place.
