Which browser? Are you choosing "Open"/"Run", or "Save"?

Just a thought, make sure it's the right drive letter. I've goofed that on more than one occasion. Also, make sure your drive is mapped properly and there's no other redirection on it.

If that isn't it, send a little info on your drive mapping. That may help.

Basically mapping means that you can assign a drive letter to just about anything. A drive, a directory, I think even a file though I haven't tried that yet .

With an external drive, that's mapped when windows sees it at boot time. That's if the proper drivers and registry entries are present for it.

For starters, double click on your "My Computer" icon and describe the drives listed there.

Aslo, can you access your external drive and read-from/write-to it just, say, copying a file from somewhere else?
