Same here. It always happens if I don't select "open explorer" in the popup after connecting the unit. > >workaround: >open taskmanager, kill all explorer.exe and start explorer.exe again. >works for me. How do you restart explorer, since killing the last instance of it kills the desktop? My workarounds: Most of the time, selecting "my computer" from the desktop, right clicking in the window and selecting "refresh" will do the trick. Almost always, control panel->system->hardware->device manager, clicking on any device, right clicking and selecting "scan for hardware changes" will do the trick. This forces winders to do a plug'n'pray scan just like when the hardware is plugged in. sometimes the above steps are also necessary. If that fails, open the USB device tree and remove (click and hit DEL) the USB driver for the Archos. Usually identified by the internal drive name such as "Hitachixxxxx". Then right click and "scan for hardware changes". This makes plug'n'pray find the "new hardware" and install the driver again. This brings the drive back about 99.999% of the time. When it doesn't, reboot. If it's so fouled up that rebooting doesn't help, go back to device manager and nuke the entire USB tree, then do a "scan for hardware changes". It'll take some time for plug'n'pray to run through all the "new hardware" and install the drivers. I've only had to do this a few times but it has always worked.
