471166 2006-07-15 12:02:00 Ok I just did something stupid. Needing to quickly disconnect a usb hard drive, I went to the "safely remove hardware" in the WinXP task tray, and in the Properties option for the drive I disabled it. Now i can't find it anywhere!
I know it's not the hard drive itself, or the USB hub, they work fine. How can I change the registry entries, or the device properties, so that I am basically able to use the hard drive again?

471168 2006-08-15 18:54:00 Yes, it does not appear in add hardware. DistortingJack (10736)
471169 2006-08-15 21:03:00 Have a look in the Device Manager (with the drive plugged in) and you should see the drive with a red cross on it. Right-click it and select Enable. CYaBro (73)
