Re: Memory stick woes...

[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the thoughts.

I've had some success - the device now appears in disk management albeit as
"unreadable" whereas previously it just didn't show up (although
it would
appear in an Explorer window).

I did notice that it appeared to take the drive letter that I thought was
usually assigned to my SD card reader however that only seems to appear
when actually in use and hand'nt seemed to be a problem before (both stick
& laptop have been used together for a few years).

It's still readable in other machines so its a bit of a puzzle.

I had stopped using it, so no there's no critical data on there, it just
seemed a waste to bin it completely.

Cheers,
Tim.
