Ah, OK, so your MP player is drive D.

When you went into "Manage" from my computer, what details did it give you about the device it had assigned drive E: to? If you right-click on it and get "Properties" what does it tell you?

And when you remove the Story, there's still an item in USB Mass Storage marked with a yellow exclamation mark? What happens if you click on that item and delete it, then restart your PC? Will the Story connect now?

One other thing: Under My Computer | Manage, did you try changing the drive letter? This will help reset the way the PC looks at that device; if it has put settings in your registry for that device already, they may be incorrect or misconfigured, but at the moment every time you plug the device back in again it just reloads those same settings. You have to make the PC make the connection completely anew.
