Another thing about Vista! I did as suggested (INFCACHE.1) and ONE Vista PC
(Compaq) accepted the change and recognized the TravelDrive! Great! But the
puzzler is that the OTHER PC (HP) does not reject the TravelDrive but does
not show it as available in "My Computer"... No matter, It works in the PC
that the TravelDrive was intended for. Thanks a bunch!
