Question
QUESTION: Hi Robert,
Am still following up my question:
The flash drive is assigned to drive D, which is also the same letter being assigned to the hard disk. I hope I've answered your question.
Thanks,
Nkutya.
ANSWER: Hi Nkutya,
Here is something to try. In Control Panel / Administratice Tools / Computer Management / Disk Management try to change the drive letter for either your hard disk drive or your flash drive. Both of these devices need to have different drive letters from each other.
Hope this helps.

QUESTION: Hi Robert,
That was fast! One cannot be changed, the other says the folder contains files that keep the system working properly, and that its contents should not be modified. What now?

ANSWER: Hi Nkutya,
Try starting up your computer with the flash drive in the USB port and then see what drive letter Windows assigns to it.

QUESTION: Hi Robert,
I tried starting the computer with the flash disk in the USB port but nothing seemed to have changed, the only difference is this time, I was reffered to Device\Harddisk1\DR2-which I also looked up and find the information to be similar to that under Device\Harddisk\DR6. What now?
