how to access a drive without a letter?


I am writing code that accesses an MP3 player plugged to a USB port. The
MP3 player is not showing up as a drive letter. With explorer, I see the
drive, with it's name, but no drive letter is assigned. How do I access
such a drive? Thank you very much.

Using whatever software the vendor provided. If there is a programming
interface, good. It sounds like an explorer namespace extension is being
used, which makes direct file access impossible. Does the drive appear in
Computer Management Disk Administrator?
The drive does not appear in Computer Management Disk Administrator. And
I did not have to install any software, XP recognized the device without any
software.

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine. I am using Adobe Acrobat (5.0 I think) and have Adobe Distiller as a

I am experiencing difficulty access a mapped network drive in an ASP.NET application. While using the .Net framework v 1.1 implementation of System.IO.Directory.Exists(), it fails to recognize a mapped network drive. This is true if the path specified uses a mapped drive letter or is expressed as a UNC address. I have also tried the drive letter and UNC paths with and without trailing backslashes, respectively.
