If your work computer is connected to a network, it is probably being recognized. Use of mapped network drives may be the problem. Network drive letter mapping will override Windows’ built-in drive lettering for removable devices. This is a common occurrence in Windows XP and may happen win Windows 2000 as well. This is easily resolved. With the DiskGO plugged into the computer, go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Disk Management. This tool will show you information about all of the volumes on your computer. One of the volumes will be your DiskGO . Simply right-click on that volume, and choose “Change Drive Letter and Path” from the menu. Choose one of the available drive letters from the drop-down list which will appear. Now you should be able to see both partitions of the DiskGO in “My Computer”.
