I have a customer that called in for a product my company sells, a flash media reader. The customer upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP Professional which may be his problem, but here is his problem. Any drive going past the letter I: does not show up under my computer or windows explorer. The reader was on drives H: I: J: K: but J: and K: did not show up. I then changed his CD ROM just for testing to letter R: and the the Flash Media Reader took G: H: I:, but J: didn't show up and neither did R: If changed back the CD ROM will work again, but I can't figure out what is causing his problems. Everything shows up under Disk Management just fine, it's accessing it that is causing the problems.
Please let me know if anyone has seen this type of issue, better still, let me know if anyone has solved this type is issue.
Thanks

check out registry key
hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer
or
hkcu\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer for
NoDrives
these hex should help you determine hidden drives
A: 1, B: 2, C: 4, D: 8, E: 16, F: 32, G: 64, H: 128, I: 256, J: 512, K:
1024, L: 2048, M: 4096, N: 8192, O: 16384, P: 32768, Q: 65536, R: 131072, S:

It turns out that the customer was running tweakUI and had turned off all drives past I: Once turned back on they drive letters started working again.
If you ever run into this, look for tweakUI.
