Hi, andraman.

Windows Explorer and Computer (My Computer was in WinXP; most of the "My"
prefixes were dropped in Vista.) are simply windows through which we can see
files and folders. We can "look but don't touch" with these tools. To
actually manage these devices, we need to use Disk Management. We can get
there by clicking Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer
Management | Disk Management - or by just pressing Start and typing
"diskmgmt.msc" and pressing Enter.

Disk Management will tell you - and let you discover and change - more than
you will ever learn with Windows Explorer and Computer. Use it to manage
all kinds of devices that may be assigned "drive" letters, from partitions
on your hard disks to optical drives, USB flash disks, cameras and card
readers - and more.

Drive letters are transient and can shift every time you add or remove
something like a flash disk. You can use Disk Management to
(semi-)permanently assign letters. And you can assign a name (label) to
each device so that you know what it is, even if it used to be Drive F: and
is now Drive G: or Drive X:.

Explore Disk Management and its Help file. It explains a lot about disk
drives that many of us have wondered for years. ;)

Hi R. C. White
thx for your nice response and suggestion.
I have tried your suggestions but have not been successful.
I try to use thirdparty explorer, like totalcommander to access
Flashdisk and HDD External. but from the List tree MyComputer that
device is still not visible.
