USB External Drive Problem


Recommended Posts

I recently upgraded my computer from a core 2 dual processor to a core 2 Quad. The BIOS

was also updated at that time. I am running Vista Ultimate and everything is working fine

except my external USB hard drive. When I cold boot my computer, the external hard drive

is visible in "My Computer" and it appears in the tray as a device which can be removed.

The device manager also shows it as OK. However when I try to open the drive, it tells me

the folder is empty. If I unplug the device and plug it back in, I get an "unknown

device" error. If I shut the drive off and turn it back on it works fine. I looked in

CMOS but didn't see any parameters that seemed relevant. Any ideas?
