Have you tried it with another pc?

What Latitute is it as some of the external drives used a double USB connector to power the unit. Can you see the drive in My Computer?

googler

What program are you accessing it with?

Win Explorer?
Disk Management?
Something else?

As previous poster says, can you 'see' it in My Computer? Can you see it in Disk Management (accessed from Control Panel, Admin Tools, Computer Management)
