Can't access USB hard drive
I've been using a USB 2.0 Pocketec hard drive on my computer for 1 year with
no problems. The last time I used it was yesterday and today when I started the computer, it wasn't in the My Computer folder. I checked the Device Manager and it says the device is working properly. I went to BIOS and it wasn't there. What should I do? Thanks for your help. |

A USB hard drive won't show up in BIOS. Have you tried removing it from Device
Manager and restarting to reinstall? -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User "Malu" wrote in message ... I've been using a USB 2.0 Pocketec hard drive on my computer for 1 year with no problems.
