Simpleburner Worked But Ss Didn't -- Found Fix!

Maybe this will make it into the FAQ's...

I recently had to reinstall my OS (WindowsXP SP2), and apps (ouch!)... and to my chagrin I found that when I installed SonicStage 3.1 and restored from my database backup I couldn't get SS to recognize my MZ-NH1! The really frustrating thing was that something was working... it showed up as a drive on my computer (allowing me to browse the HMDHIFI directory, etc.) and Simple Burner worked like a charm... but no amount of refreshes or unplug / replug / uninstall / reinstall cycles would cause SS to recognise it.

I suddenly had a brain-flash... I realized that for some reason XP had selected a drive letter for the NH1 that was previously one of my network drives, and wondered if that was having an impact. So I changed the drive letter to an unused one, and immediately SonicStage detected the drive!

Here's how to change a drive letter under Windows XP:

1) With the MD connected, right click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage"

2) Choose "Disk Management" under "Storage"

3) Scroll down on the lower rh pane until you see your MD ("Removable 965MB")

4) Right click on the MD's info bar and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths."

5) Select an unused drive letter.
