I received my USB UltraPlusPak HD today and installed it with only a minor glitch. XP automatically installed the drivers OK but the autoplay never came up so I went into explorer to view the contents of the drive but it was empty. I "safely removed the hardware" and re-inserted it and then all was fine. I decided to use option one to run from the HD for now.

Later tonight I restarted the pc the way I left it and again the drive was listed as the same volume but was empty as was noted by the non-associated desktop shortcut icons. I removed and inserted the HD several times (using both cable plugs in case of low power) but to no avail. I tried reversing the cable plugs (I'm using the two front USB ports until my two 7 port USB powered hubs come in) and then 2010 came to life. The shortcut icons are still not associated with anything but they do connect.

I have never used a USB drive before and figured there might be issues as far as my luck goes. I have a 1 terabyte USB drive coming as well and I hope that doesn't do the same thing. I suppose I will end up thinning out my two smallish internal drives by transferring files to the tera drive and installing all of BIAB onto one of the internals.

Is anyone having an issue like this? Is this something that I will have to fiddle with even with the hubs?

Thanks.

Oh, and BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed some of the new features of BIAB that I had time for. I was very glad to see a lot more realtracks and especially soloists that I now have compared to the 2009.5 MegaPak. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time with this. Thanks, PGMusic!
