I'm grabbing on to this subject for a couple of reasons. I am running XP Pro and don't find the Manage, right click, My Computer. I go to My Computer the old fashioned way (or whatever) and don't see "disk management" anywhere. Can you direct me?
Second, I have two USB hubs, one an old one with 4 connections where I get the warning that I should use the newer version. I also have a new one with 4 connections. My flash drives only appear when I plug them in the old connections so I don't have the advantage of the faster speeds. (That is the advantage, isn't it?) When I try to see which connections are which I'm completely lost. Here is a picture of my drive setup. It lists all these drives (G through J) and then my external drive is K and the two flash drives pick up the later letters L and M. First of all I don't have any G, H, I and J drives and how can I get them removed from the list. I think that will then move the others up to those letters? Thanks for your help.
