I have USB drives on two separate computers, both USB hard drives and
USB card readers an they are working fine after installing SP2. May just
bet the printer drivers that need updating.

the only problem i've encountered so far is that my
printer , a canon multipass f20 .. which has a flash
card reader freezes when trying to view drives when i
click on the 'my computer' icon ... also it freezes
when i try to open a file from within a program using
file/open.. when trying to get list of drives... im
not sure if this is a driver problem with xp seeing
the flash card as a drive... has anyone with usb/flash
drives experienced this problem?
