Not recognizing some USB devices

When I plug in certain USB devices, sometimes my PC doesn't assign a drive
letter to them. There are certain USB devices it always recognizes. There are
others that light on the device lights up and the chime rings on the
computer, but it doesn't assign a drive letter so I can't access it.

Re: Not recognizing some USB devices

Do those "other" devices work on other computers?
