I'm at a loss to know what to suggest really. Is there a 3.5" floppy drive
installed in your PC? Does that appear as drive A: when the pen drive is
disconnected? If you don't have a floppy drive then perhaps fitting one
would force the pen drive to another drive letter?

No. There're no 3.5 Floppy drive installed. and it doesn't show any
Drive A: on the "My Computer" either. its Only show up the 3.5 floppy
(drive A:) when I plug my Pen Drive into the USB port. If i unplug it
the Pen Drive, the 3.5 floppy (drive A:) will disappear.

Any other ideas...?

Sorry no. The only thing I can think of trying is to actually fit a floppy
drive so that it takes the A: slot then try connecting the pen drive. Might
work and Floppy drives are quite cheap. Think I got one for <$10 once.

You don't need a real drive. Just enable it in the BIOS and DOS and Win 2K/XP allocate A. Most
likely, the pen drive moves to B.

I would check the pen drive CD for software to configure or format.
