Default Maxtor 1Touch not recognized in My Computer

Installed unit (120Gb USB). Device Mgr sees it. Explorer
does not. No resolve from Maxtor, after trying their
suggestions. Say I should contact Microsoft. Any help?

able to see the drive in Explorer.

.
At Maxtor suggestion, I used their program Maxblast 3 to

partition and format drive. (supposed to be formatted FAT
32 in 1 partition from the factory) Tried this a few
times. Seemed to work OK. Once had 2 partitions (about 60
Gb ea.)System assigned Drives E: & F: Explorer could see
F: I could read and write to it. But could not see E:
Seems wierd.
