Pls Help! My computer re-assigned names so the USB port is now called

[truedelphi]

10. Okay now we are following each other in terms of what we are meaning.

What you say in your first paragraph - yep, that is my take too. The Bak Up drive is supposed to be labelled "D". But in our case it is not labelled "D" but maybe "F"

However, now get into the part where you say "On edit:" - yes, we had a local computer shop take over and re-install a new HD. And the computer shop-guy told us that the HD itself selected the "USB" drive as "D" drive designation, automatically.

Now we have been using the machine for about four months since this designation ahs happened. For four months no problems. And I am now having problems with using the CD drive, and also the USB port.

The weird thing is that when I slide my new memory stick into the USB drive, the red light next to the port does come on. And when I check status at the "MY Computer" area, it shows that "D" drive does have a memory Stick being used. But then when I attempt to use the memory stick, the computer says nothing is there in the USB drive.

And my husband's memory stick is still working. So maybe the USB stick is not working. But then why aren't my CD's working on this computer, when they work on the other computer (Same machine, same formatting, etc.)
