GMan,
When both stick drives are in USB ports, Disk Management only shows the one
thats working - nothing is shown for the other one. (its not the port as
I've exchanged them and repeated the test).
Everytime I plug in the unrecognised stick, it tries (unsuccessfully) to
install new hardware, but can't seem to find the drivers - they are there
and work for the other stick.
Does that help?
Regards,
Fred
