Calibre is not seeing the drive representing the memory of your device. It is only seeing the launcher partition.

Can you see using a file explorer the removable disk for the 900's memory? Is the memory formatted -- can the 900 see it? If the 900 is really brand new, try initializing its memory. There should be a function available somewhere on the 900's menu to do that.

Well ........ I have also Calibre installed on my Macbook and it works flawless. Detected and working.
If I do a debug on it, during the process it says Looking For PRS505 and THEN looking for PRS700 ........
This lookout for PRS700 seems missing on XP install.
Tried to unisntall and install Calibre again. NO Success

I can't help you if you don't answer my questions. To whit: "Can you see using a file explorer the removable disk for the 900's memory? Is the memory formatted -- can the 900 see it?" The debug output is clear -- the drive representing your 900's memory is not there. The question is why.

As for your macbook, what version of calibre is on it? Calibre hasn't 'looked for PRS700' for quite some time.

SOLVED !!

As you were suggesting, the system was assigning the same Drive letter to a network one ...... So Calibre was not able to "see" the internal one.

Changed letter and everything went OK

Thanks for your help !!!

Many thanks
