Holly,
Disk management is in the control panel, under administrative tools. I will
think about your usb, I have to remember how I fixed mine a year ago. lol.

Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] DeFault Settings
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.
Holly
