Default Re: Cannot Open J: Drive

when it asks for "open with" try navigating to explorer (in your windows folder on drive C). Just a thought!! It seems to be seeing it as something other than a drive. Next thought you may need to update your usb drivers and list. Some usb items have issues with being seen . I would give you the files or point you in the right direction but you don't say what op system you are using. Just Google drivers

Hiya.

Try right clicking on the Drive and see what options there are in the Context menu, its usually > Open, (Which is usually in Bold text.) Explore, Search..., etc. If the menu's first option is not Open, it will do whatever the first option is set to.
