WinXP vs Win98SE and SanDisk
James O'Riley
main computer (Win98SE OS) and a new Laptop (WinXP). Things have been
working with no problems so I bit the bullet and bought a 2G SanDisk
yesterday.
I transfered a few files back and forth then suddenly I can't access the
SanDisk with the WinXP machine; all it does is blink a dozen or so
times, the glow steady.
Anyone have an idea what's wrong? How do I access the bloody thing on
the WinXP machine?
Thanks,
James

This is the very well know XP and Mass Storage Device problem......it is
very rare that you will get the system to see the drive without a reinstall
of the OS.
You could try going through Device Manager and reassigning a new drive
letter but from my experience it will not work or stick.
I gave up eventually and for a while used ExploreXP to find the drive each
time
but that to became a pain so canned my reader in favour of a PC Card Reader
adapter.

The data on the drive is probably corrupt. Insert the drive in the XP
box, right click My Computer, select manage, go to disk management and
work with it there. You may have to reformat the thing.

The strain of caring for a fucking snot dripping idiotic drool slobbering

Gee, three entirely different "fixes" instills faith, but there's nothing
about: "This is the very well know XP and Mass Storage Device
problem......it is very rare that you will get the system to see the drive
without a reinstall of the OS."
If it were me, I'd ignore the arse who said that...

You need some sleep Idiot. Maybe you'll develop a better attitude toward
people. ;-)
James O'Riley
It seems you are the only *real* person in this thread. The rest are
either trolls or crude, rude baboons. :-D
StsAlive
Certainly in my case, perhaps you can explain to the readers why XP Disc
Manager would not/could not see my MSD when ExplorerXP
could...................

It puts me to sleep booting or shutting down. I'll grant you it's
easier on the nerves dealing with MemSticks and in fewer crashes than
Win98SE. But I'll stick with Win98SE simply because it can handle DOS
programs in an easier manner than XP.

...and now, you use Fag Lames. Understandable.

It is customary to ignore, or laugh at, people who accept 'advise' from
idiots like your *real* person. Good luck.

Sleep or the lack of has nothing to do with my nym. This self
professed expert is telling someone that he has to reinstall his
system to make a jump drive work. That is totally idiotic. I have
spent around 60 years developing my attitude and am quite comfortable
with it, thank you. So you may take your little winky fucking idiot
icon and FROAD
And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Uh... you _should_ stay with Win98. XP is beyond you.

I dunno. I do not use ExplorerXP. I am not here to bump dickheads
with you, but when someone tells another that they have to reinstall
to make a jump drive work, I gotta say something.
