I'm trying to get Python to get files from a USB drive on Windows (from a tablet, actually) and send them through the network. Windows does not offer me a drive letter for the USB device. The device just has a name. There is no option to mount it. diskpart does not see it and mountvol always tell me that "The parameter is incorrect."
The device appears inside of "Computer" under "Portable Devices". I can see the files. They're there, there is no doubt. How can I get Python to grab them? I can't even get to them from the command line. If I try to drag a folder from the drive to a command shell, the mouse pointer turns into a "forbidden" sign. I am given no option to mount or map the device in the Windows GUI.
What can I do?
