If you have "Tweak UI" (free) from Microsoft, you can open it and go to my computer/drives and make sure that the drives you want to see in my computer are checked. Tom Mayer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Lloyd" <[log in to unmask]> I have somehow modified a setting somewhere that has affected My Computer and it now does not recognize any USB drives (My Computer no longer lists the drives). I know the drive is properly connected becasue in Windows XP on my Compaq laptop I can access and explore the drive in "Control Panel," "Performance and Maintenance," "Administrative Tools," "Computer Management," under "Storage," "Disk Management" What do I need to do to fix My Computer so these disk drives properly show in the windoe?
