Actually, I have a similar problem.  What I discovered is that I have full
access to the public portion on my desktop.  I have no access to it at all
on my laptop, and I have access to the public and encrypted areas both on a
different laptop at work.  I was able to get the info off the encrypted
portion with that second laptop.  I bought a new one, and it is recognized
in all of the devices.

I wonder how well tested these are and if we'll start seeing more of this as
they become more heavily used.  I used mine almost daily for around a month
and a half.  The instructions for removing the jumpdrive say, "Close all
files stored on the jumpdrive.  To avaoid loss of data, do not remove the
jumpdrive while the light is blinking."  It doesn't require you to stop and
start the hardware, per se.  Perhaps I will with the new one to see if that
makes a difference, but I WILL keep it backed up on my home pc.

John,

Thanks for the update...I'll pass along that experience.  Just curious...had
you read any documentation that made that assertion, and now...what are your
thoughts, do you see your experience as a fluke?  In other words, will you
still power down with the drive inserted?

Mark

I specifically shut it down IF I am not shutting down my computer.  I expect
Windows to correctly shut it down if I am shutting down Windows.

In fact I got it back by TURNING OFF the machine and turning it back on with
the Jump Drive already in the socket.  Before I was rebooting which wasn't
working.  Strange.  Anyway, I am back and have copied all my critical data
off.

John,

Did you actually perform those steps in that order?  I've always clicked
that cute little icon in the systray that tells me when it is safe to remove
the hardware...then I can power down if needed.  A co-worker recently
described your exact circumstances.  He'd always said that he never bothered
to click that icon...just yanked it out...now, his USB drive "unexpectedly"
doesn't work.

Anyone here using one of these?  I have a 256mb model that I have been using
for weeks.  It was working this morning.  Turned off my laptop, removed the
drive.  This evening, I cannot mount the encrypted volume.  Win2K says
simply cannot mount drive (after entering password).  XP does a page fault
and offers to send a report to MS.

Any words of wisdom?
