Removable harddrive not acessable?
My removable harddrive is a plug-in-play. The usb port is fine, the wire is
working, the drive is getting power, the computer acknowledges the device, and the drive works on other computers still. The computer says it's installed but the drive no longer pulls up as a new drive to acess under the 'my computer" screen. It use to but now it doesn't. Why? how do i change it?
