427797 2006-02-06 19:53:00 Hi,

Ive had a USB hard drive installed for a while now and have had no problems with it at all. But today my system has stopped recognizing it! I cant see it at all, and when i take out the usb, then put it back in, it just says "one of the usb devices attached to te computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it". All my uni work etc is on this, so im ****ting myself! Ive went to update driver but it says that nothing more update can be found. And its a plug and play device, so im all out of ideas.... :help:
