I've got a Sony HD5 walkman which I use as an audio player and also as a removable hard disk. It's always worked fine up untill I had to do a repair install of Windows XP.
My other external drive works fine, but when I plug in the Sony it gets recognised, shows up in safely remove hardware but can not be seen or accessed as a drive from My Computer.
I tried to assign a drive letter to it via computer managment/storage/disk mangament where it also shows up. This works as a tempery solution in that, when I assign it a letter I can right click it there and choose to explore it. However that's hardly plug and play! Any ideas on how to get this working as it should?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the device and also the windows troubleshooter (you know, that's never solved a single problem for me! lol). Also the drive works fine on PC's in college and another PC I have.
Thanks in advance for any replies
