I have two USB drives that are not visible on the tablet - it says they need
formatted. The desktop sees them just fine and I was able to access them as
shared drives over the lan. (It took some 300 minutes to move 20 GB of data at
100mbit. :-() While I think if the MBR was bad, neither computer would see
them, it's the only thing I can think is wrong.
The tablet is winxp sp2, the desktop is win2003 - one of the beta sp's. One
drive is the tablet's original drive - I decided to reformat to get rid of some
crap and it wouldn't boot to install (first reboot) - it reported a drive
error. The restore disk appeared to run, although I never went past the "do you
want to reformat and restore" screen as I didn't want to reformat. <g> The
other drive is just a spare drive in a usb case. Both have multiple partitions
and have files stored on them. While I could use them remotely, I'd rather plug
them into the hub the tablet is on.
Figuring the error was something with the Toshiba partition and the msdn tablet
pc os, I put in a spare drive and installed windows... then turned around and
used the restore disk because I didn't have lan drivers. <g>
So... any suggestions on what to do to get both drives visible? I used the
second drive on the tablet before, so it's a new problem - possibly caused by
resizing partitions using disk director, but I can't be sure. I resized them in
the desktop and I have DD and True Image on the tablet too - both programs (on
the tablet) see the drives but say they need initialized.
