USB Mass Storage Device

[darnel]

Does Jukebox 6000 supports USB Mass Storage Device Standard?
At Archos pages in FAQ is written "Drivers are not required. Windows will install and use; "USB Mass Storage Device" drivers by default." but I tried to connect it to 2 computers and WinXP wants to install drivers, which operation is not permitted for me. Usual Flash Disk works there.

Is this solutable/affected by firmware?

Thanx.

Their FAQ is wrong. The Jukebox Studio/Player is not USB Mass Storage compliant, so it needs drivers. You can find them here:

I have this drivers, but I'm not able to install it at school (req. admin rights).

Is this solutable by firmware or is it hardware ability?

No, it is the way the USB chip works, and can't be solved in the firmware.
