在Windows XP中查找丢失的USB驱动器

Have you ever plugged in a USB drive or any external device with a hard drive and wondered why you cannot see it in My Computer?

您是否曾经插入USB驱动器或任何带有硬盘驱动器的外部设备，并想知道为什么无法在“我的电脑”中看到它？

More than likely the cause is that Windows renamed the drive to a letter that is already in use. This will happen if you have several card readers, thumb drives or external hard drives attached. It will also happen if you are on a network and have mapped drives.

原因很可能是Windows将驱动器重命名为已经使用的字母。 如果您连接了多个读卡器，拇指驱动器或外部硬盘驱动器，则会发生这种情况。 如果您在网络上并已映射驱动器，也会发生这种情况。

To find the drive and then rename it, you’ll want to right-click on My Computer and select Manage.

要找到驱动器然后对其进行重命名，您需要右键单击“我的电脑”，然后选择“管理”。

From the Computer Management screen, select Disk Management.

在“计算机管理”屏幕上，选择“磁盘管理”。

In this window you should see all of your connected physical drives, their format, if they are healthy, and the drive letter.

在此窗口中，您应该看到所有已连接的物理驱动器，它们的格式(如果运行状况良好)以及驱动器号。

In this instance I am going to change the drive letter of my Lexar USB drive. Right-click on the drive in the list, and from the resulting menu select “Change Drive Letters and Paths…”

在这种情况下，我将更改Lexar USB驱动器的驱动器号。 右键单击列表中的驱动器，然后从出现的菜单中选择“更改驱动器号和路径…”。

Click on Change so we can change the drive letter. You might notice that you can select Add, which would let you mount the drive into a folder if you wanted to. We don’t want to, so just click Change.

单击更改，以便我们可以更改驱动器号。 您可能会注意到，您可以选择添加，如果需要，可以将驱动器安装到文件夹中。 我们不想这样做，因此只需单击“更改”。

Select a new drive letter from the drop down list, preferably the one that you usually use for this drive.

从下拉列表中选择一个新的驱动器号，最好是通常用于该驱动器的驱动器号。

Click Yes on the confirmation screen and you are done

在确认屏幕上单击是，您已完成。

If you have auto play enabled, you will get the normal pop up dialog asking what you want to do.

如果启用了自动播放功能 ，则将弹出普通弹出对话框，询问您要执行的操作。
