Sometimes when you connect your recorder it will not show up on your computer/software and also not see in the recorder as a removable drive under the Computer drives section. This can be caused because of a drive letter conflict between the recorder and another internal hard drive, external hard drive or even a removable drive such as a USB memory stick or SD memory cards. To fix this issue please follow the below illustrated instructions. Please note for recorders that have more than one memory card (internal microSD card and external SD card) installed, such as a DS-5000 or DS-7000, you will have to change the drive letter for both cards.
