Freecom Hard Drive not seeing USB2 ports

It was working fine, in all my USB ports then not. Every time I plug into the USB port it tells me, if I click on the message, it gives me the other ports which are faster USB2 ports showing in bold but there are none showing.

I have tried on my PC 2 years old XP, my 2nd PC one year old XP, my laptop a few weeks old XP and friends laptop 6 months old but same message from all. Nothing in the Freecom pdf manual so lost for what to try next.

It is supposed to be a Plug & Play hard drive so any ideas?

    To answer my own post. I called Tech Support at Freecom who tell me it is a fault with the hard drive which is one year old and is covered for 2 years so good result.
