Hi Dave, No, it comes into life, laptop and PC state "found new hardware" and then "installed ready to use". It shows in system devices under disk drives as "WDC WD20 00JB-00GVA0 - USB device" and in USB Controllers as "USB Mass Storage Device". When expanding these, they both state that device is working properly. Using the troubleshoot does not help. However, when going into Device properties, it does not show anything on nthe Volume page, just blank. When I click on "populate" it then shows the following: Disk - Disk 5 Type- Unknown Status - Unreadable Partition Type - Not applicable Capacity - 0 mb Unallocated - 0 mb Reserved space - 0 mb Any ideas??

HELP. My external 160GB USB hard drive is not being recognised. I unplugged it from the PC to copy info to my laptop, when I re-connected it, it no longer shows under My Computer. If I go into Sytem, devices, it is shown as "this device is working properly!!" I'm using a Dell Dimension DM051, Pentium 4 3Ghz, with IGb Ram. Do I have to follow a certain procedure to re-connect?

Help!! My PC has "lost" both my DVD burner and my 2nd Lightscribe burner. When booting up it shows as new hardware found and loads both drives but they do not show on "my computer". When I explore device manager, it shows the devices with a yellow exclamation mark and states that drivers are loaded but devices cannot be found. I'm runnig a Windows XP Media centre, SP2, Pentium 4 3.00 GHZ dual processor with 1Gb ram. Greg
