Drives C: and D: are taken by the hard drive and the DVD. So the first available drive for a USB stick is E:. When I plug any USB into the computer, it does not show in File Explorer or in the "My PC" view. But, if I manually tell Explorer to go to "E:", it works fine. Also, if I plug a second USB drive into the computer with the first one still in, it immediately shows up in all views as drive F:. So, only drive E: is not automatically recognized.
Please note: the USB stick itself is fine and not corrupted; autoplay is enabled and set to open Explorer to view files. The problem is only in automatically recognizing drive E:.
Another note: this used to work fine. At some point, I was given an option to change how it reacted to drive E: and I changed it, but I can't remember what I was asked or what I did. There must be a setting somewhere to reverse this.
