Auto-detect USB floppy drive
Hi,
I recently had to format / reinstall a laptop at work. It's running XP Pro with SP2 and all other updates. Since the reinstall, it won't automatically detect when we plug in the USB floppy drive. In fact, the only time it'll detect the USB floppy drive is if we power down, plug in the drive and reboot - which is obviously pretty inconvenient! Any ideas? Cheers! Jo
