I fixed the problem by reinstalling Hoster, this also fixed the no read problem in Microstudio
I was using the Hoster Demo and it recognized my external drives and internal dvd/cd drive.
I have an exthd westell 160gb and a plextor 708uf.
There was no problem for Microstudio or hoster demo reading my 708uf. So, before purchasing and downloading Hoster (unlimited) I bit the bullet and downloaded MS service pack-2 (i had other software issues so didn't use it eariler) because it was a requiement for Hoster.
Now that SP-2 is onboard Microstudio and Hoster can't read either drive The 708uf or my internal dvd/cd drive. It does recognize the extHD though.
Windows explorer and the safely remove hardware device window list both external drives.
I tried changing usb ports and disabled norton virus protection. Don't know what else to try.
Any sugestions?
