1. Be sure your drive isn't formatted NTFS. If it is, be sure you formatted it FAT32 first and then used CONVERT with the /NoSecurity option. Straight NTFS formatted drives have permissions issues with Vista.
2. Check to see if a locally installed Thunderbird works on x64... if the local one doesn't work, the portable one won't either (None of the apps here are tested or supported on ANY 64 bit OSes). From everything I've heard x64 shouldn't be used on production machines due to incompatibilities with lots of apps.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
i realy formatted it in win xp with ntfs and doesnt converted it. thx for the fast help i will try to convert the drive now, i hope it works.
