I recently purchased a Usb Mass Storage Device of 256 Mb. Wheb I plug it into
my USB Port I get a notification that it installed in my System Tray and the
device shows up in Device Manager but does not show up in Windows Explorer or
my Folders so I cannot transfer files to this device. Any clues to help
please.

Does it show up in DiskManagement?
Does it assign a drive letter?

Start>CMD>mountvol
Does drive appear in list?

start>cmd>Diskpart>list volume
Does it appear here?

Do you have a ZIP drive or some other removable drive installed in
your computer? There is a glitch in Windows XP that sometimes results
in duplication of drive letters under these conditions. The best way
to fix this is to:

1. Boot your computer without the USB drive in place.
2. Change the drive letter for the ZIP drive to something that is
away up the alphabet (I often use Z: for these), reboot again, and
then reinsert the USB device.

Good luck
