Hello,

I'm not really shure wheter it is a problem or not but i have a strange situation concerning my 250 gig Iomega eGo portable drive.

A short while ago it suddely appeared as Local Drive E: and denied my acces (not shure what the errer was)
After that I farmatted the hard drive and it is now working again, however it is still listed as local drive E:
I wondered if this was a problem and if it is possible to change this back so that it shows as a removable disk again.

I'm on Windows Xp Proffesional SP3

Kind regards

Bas Eijsermans

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0
