Removables on RC4

I had my USB removable drives working on RC1 and RC2, IIRC, out of the 
box.  Apparently I don't recall correctly since they don't work in RC4. 
  Can anyone suggest why and how to fix?

Run USBcfg and check/change configuration

If all looks OK maybe you need the /CD switch on the PSD=ACPI.PSD line 
in the config.sys file.

I did and here's the device report:

I did - no change.  "PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC /CD"

Note that my installation is right out of the box without updating any 
drivers that have been announced since RC4.  What should I change/add?

No, you did not  :-)

USBcfg does not produce a device report; my guess is that this is from 
USBDock or USB Resource Manager.

Looks like this drive is being recognised. What happens when you try to 
access it?

I would expect RC4 to have the latest USB drivers - controllers and mass 
storage are at build 10.162.

Run USBcfg and check that USB drivers/configuration is what you expect.

Yes I did. :-)  I ran USBcfg.exe 673,280 06-08-03 10:51:52
Everything looks reasonable (to the extent of my knowledge).  Under the 
Resource Manager tab, it lists 2 devices.  When I connect the WD drive, 
it list it as a third after a brief pause.  I click on the WD HD and 
then RMB on the area to get the above report.  I attached the report 
from that.  What can I post that will give you more info?
