I am running Vista and bought a Verbatim USB 1TB External Hard Drive. The HD and the DVD burner worked fine together for a while,but now for some reason it changed the drive letter on the DVD from E: to K:(when HD hooked up) and J: when the HD is not hooked up. It is labeled as a DVD Drive J:, but under type it says cd drive. When I go to Device Manager it says "his device cannot start. (Code 10)" It says the drivers are the latest, when I check for updates. The DVD burner came in the HP computer I use for HTPC. It says TSSTCorp. CD/DVDW TS-H652M ATA device. When I try to use Roxio to burn data discs, it doesn't see the drive and says no drive detected..
Any ideas? I've tried disabling all my card readers and all other items with a drive letter. It still stays at j: or K: I have a coupe of virtual drive, but I think I got rid of them also.
