Hi I have a 350g Toshiba external drive Model # hddr320e03x that my xp machine is not recognizing. My Vista laptop recognizes it just fine. My usb ports on the xp machine are fine because they see my flash drives etc. I've tried every usb port with the Toshiba. I have XP service pack 2. Again, laptop is fine, XP machine cannot see it. Thanks 4 any help.

Check in Computer Management, see if the drive appears there but without drive letter. If so, right click on it and select Assign Drive letter. You should see it in my computer then

Change Is Good
