Hi, I've a 80GB external hard disk. It works fine on some computers running
XP SP2 and not visible on some PC's with the the same SP2. it's been a
problem for me quite some time. I dont know what to do, b'cos XP SP2 comes
with all the USB drivers. So, i cant find any better drivers to fix this.
This Hard disk is USB one and i wonder why it shows up on some PC's and not
on some PC's. all are running XP SP2. plz help.

If it is recognized, but no drive letter, try:

Hi,
it's not the problem of drive letter. i can see all the messages like new
hardware found,new drive is installed and ready to work etc. i can even see
it in hardware manager. but when i click it, to open, it simply says "please
insert a disk into it". what to do now?
