I just can't seem to access my external hard drive... At one point I was able
to. it saw it as just another folder in my computer but now I can't get it
back for the life of me. I updated my ports, I tried patches but all I ever
got was "this update does not apply to your system".

It shows up in the device manager and says its working properly and when I
unplug it from my computer I hear the little "disconnect sound" same for when
I reconnect it except its the "reconnect sound".

Using vista home premium 64bit
4gigs of ram

thanks
-John
 
Re: Vista and USB Mass storage device problems...

How does it show up in Disk Management? You may need to make changes there,
like assigning a drive letter, etc.
