Removable Storage problem 2000 Server

Windows 2000 server.

its been running find backing up to a USB drive with no problems......i go to check today and the drive has vanished, i check disk management, the drive still shows up fine.

i plug a USB memory stick in....same thing, nothing in my computer...can't access thru console, but everything is showing up in disk managment just normal.

Try to explore from disk managment " The system cannot find the device specified"

when you see the USB pen drive in the disk management console does it have a drive letter?


only disks with assigned drive letters show up in the my computer window.

 

[user12]

yes

everything shows up perfectly in disk managment. Drive Letters and all

Go into IE and manually type the drive letter in to try to access it

 

[user12]

i've already done that from the console as stated before, lets just skip past the basics please I've been digging at this for a few hours and even deleted the Removable storage database just for sh*ts.

Do you have network drives trying to use the same letter?

 

[user12]

its the file server......no network drives.

 

[ussvoyager74656]

just making sure... sometime people will login with an account that maps out drives...

 

[root]

if you can see the drive in the disk management can you right click on it and press open?

 

[user12]

same error message in any attempt to open them...no matter how sneeky

" The system cannot find the device specified"
