USB Pen Drives
Posted by: JamieWednesday on 22 November 2004
I need a pen/flash drive to transfer data to/from my office lap top and home PC via USB. Trouble is my laptop runs on Windows NT and my home PC on XP. I can't seem to see any pen drives that support NT.
Anyone know any? Have good/bad experiences?

I don;t know if this helps, but I got a bytestor pen from amazon that I use both on Win 98 and XP Sp1 and Sp2, and it seems to work.
Isn't XP based on NT?

Win NT cannot talk to USB at all.

That's the official position but it seems there are now ways round it in some cases. Google on "NT USB" and you'll find plenty of proposed solutions. No idea how effective they are though.

Win XP installed mine as Floppy B: giving me access to only 1.44Mb of the 128Mb capacity
Any suggestions?

Bosh we just plugged ours in and it comes up as drive:F(next free drive ID). No drivers or anything, it was recognised (Plug and Play). Saying that the digital cameras behave differently now when plugged in.

Go into Start / Control panel / Administrative tools / Computer management / Disk management.
You can then right-click any drive and assign a different drive letter.
You might find that if you re-assign the camera to it's original drive letter, the trigger function might work again.
BTW, before you do this, it's worth going into Start / Programs / Accessories / System tools / System restore. Create a restore point. If you stuff the machine up via Disk management, returning the machine to the "restore point" might save you (although not if you've formatted a disc or anything really bad like that).
cheers, Martin

I think you'll be out of luck unless someone makes some sort of parallel to USB widget.
IIRC NT sort of supports NT in so much as there are some NT USB port drivers available, but nobody who makes anything USB seems to make drivers, least that's how I seem to remember it.

Try Disgo. [I cannot vouch for the quality of Disgo drives or their NT drivers - just that I read somewhere that NT drivers are available].
