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.
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
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.
