Hmmm,

I would have expected it to show as "G:/"?

Did you load the drivers/software BEFORE you physically connected the device?

Have you got USB enabled on your box.

I know those are silly questions, but they have accounted for more failures to recognise USB devices than any other problem I have encountered

Cheers
