8. I am clueless as to your meaning of these two sentences:

"Your D drive is the factory restore partition so it shouldn't even think about installing it there (OS decision, not the stick). Formatting it on another machine is definitely an option. Also, do any OTHER memory sticks do this or is it just the one? "

You say "it shouldn't" - do you mean the machine itself shouldn't have called the USB port "D" drive? I have to agree with you - I want the drives to have their origianal names, but when we put the new HD in (to replace the one that died) - the machine automatically assigned these damn new letter names, and the bak up drive is no longer D but something else (E or F or G)

My spouse and me both think hte memory stick itself is the problem though, as M's memory device works fine in this USB port, even though it still has the same labelled "D" .
