My XP Pro SP2 machine sometimes 'sees' my Archos as a "Removable Media" and
will not allow use of long file names etc on it, no drive letter assigned -
a re-boot with the Archos still connected seems to sort it out. It may then
be fine for weeks.

Two changes occurred about the time I started to notice this issue - Service
Pack 2, and I started to "Suspend" my PC during the week, rather than
switching it off every night.

I have reverted back to turning it off every time, and have not seen the
issue since...

|Once your drive is recognized it should have a letter -- maybe
|that letter is used to map another network drive or something
|-- I am not seeing that problem here with roughly the same
|setup. Make sure that you have a free drive letter after your
|CD drives and I think somewhere on that computer management
|screen if you right click the drive there is a way to map it
|to a letter.
