Ive been using my MiniDisk (Sony MZ-NH700) recorder as an external drive
in the
same way that someone else might use a flash drive. Yes, I know I could go
out
and get a flash drive for practically nothing nowadays but I have the
MiniDisc
already - and I was thinking about security when travelling: if someone
steals a
flash drive, they know they've got data; if they steal a minidisc they
don't
know they've got my bank passwords and pins - they think they've got Doris
Day's
Greatest Hits
Anyway...
It's a PC running XP. The first couple of times that I plugged in the
MiniDisc
recorder the computer recognised it as an external drive and transferred
all the
things that I wanted.
Around the 3rd or fourth time I plugged the MiniDisc recorder into the
computer
it recognised it instead as -erme- a MiniDisk recorder and then wouldn't
let me
go any further without installing drivers and it wouldn't apparently let
me go
back to treating it as an external drive.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks,
Nick
