Hello, Just bought a new external hard drive. I connected it to the PC (running Windows XP) using the USB connector and I get the usual noise to say that something has been connected. Normally it sets off an autoplay routine but that doesn't happen and when I go to windows explorer to find the device it doesn't appear in the list. so if the PC is acknowledging it is there, why can't I find it? Any ideas? Thanks Simon
