THIS WORKED. Thank you, I spent hours looking for answers. Everywhere just said "assign a letter manually and thats it." NOPE.

I had Alcohol 50% installed, and I had already uninstalled it. I never did check the registry, because I downloaded the "spdtinst" file listed in the answer above, ran it from the run prompt followed by "remove," and ran it.

Just follow the prompts whatever it says - mine said something about stopping the service first, then rebooting. I said ok, and once rebooted, I ran it again, and it told me the driver was not installed. As soon as I did that, my USB drive poped up.

WISH I FOUND THIS HOURS AGO - but it still works, even in 2009.

P.S. Although I used Alcohol 50%, in the past I may have installed Daemon tools and forgot about it.
