Hey

I need to get my USB hard drive/ pen drives working in vista 64, and have hit a dead end.

I have a Fujitsu 60gb hard drive and a 4gb scan disk cruiser usb pen drive both are defunct in vista

strangely i also have a 1gb version of the scan disk drive and that works fine, so maybe it is if you go over 2gb (like in windows 98)

both show up in disk management, with the correct size, but don't have a driver letter and just keep telling me i need to refresh my device list every time i try to do anything with them (in disk management), under device manager they are just yellow marks with "unknown device".

I tried Fujitsu tech support, and after telling my that there's worked fine in vista, they admitted that they only tried in vista 32 and don't have any special 64bit drivers. and the MS site is less then helpfully so over to you lot.... any ideas?

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
