Hi all,

I received and have successfully installed my Pogoplug yesterday - wonderful device!

Additionally, I've installed the Pogoplug drive (Version 2.1.2) on my Windows Vista (SP1) machine, which worked like a charm until I rebooted my PC today.

I now get this error: "Failed to assign drive letter!" everytime I rightclick the Pogoplug task tray icon and choose "reload".

Any solutions to this one?

Kind regards,

Sander

I've still not been able to resolve this issue.. Anyone any clue?

Kind regards,

hmm...sounds like it could be a bad installation of the drive app - did you try uninstalling and reinstalling? If that don't work, definitely give support a shout.

Thanks for your reply!

Haven't tried to reinstall, but after a couple of times rebooting the system, it was working again. I have not experienced the same error after that (about 8 days now), it's all working like a charm!

I'm running Windows 7, and I get the same problem (same version - 2.1.2). I've already tried uninstalling the Pogoplug desktop application, and after reinstallation things worked for a little while... but after a few days it returns. Obviously not fixed!

I'll settle for a workaround, but it feels like a driver issue to me too. Before anyone asks, yes I have tried to run the application as an administrator. Still no luck.

Hopefully this can be figured out soon. It's driving me mad. I know there are others with this problem!

I have a similar issue. I have just purchased the plug and quickly tested it.
Then I took the HDD (Seagate Freeagent GoFlex 2T) off to fill it up with stuff to share, but when I plugged it back into the plug I get Pogoplug Disk Failure! Bad Drive Letter! message.

Update:
After a PC shut down and reboot all is working again.

I too get the same error message re not being able to assign a drive letter on my win7 32bit premium.

Each time I use Revo Uninstaller to clean out the registry and reinstall the desktop app. This works for approx 5 days, but reappears any time I eject a drive because the transfer speed via the desktop app is approx 30% of the speed that I get over the web app.

Shame they can't write a simple/reliable app to discover and map drives. This is such a waste of time, even for a computer geek like me!

I never had this problem until I recently installed and used CCleaner to clean my registry for a class assignment. As long as I don't run CCleaner I am good to go, but as soon as I run it to clean the registry I get the error again and need to reinstall the desktop app.

Not sure if any of you guys are using a registry cleaner like CCleaner on a regular basis, but if you are this could be your issue.
