Well hiya guys,
My hard drive (external) has a problem. Yesterday i formatted my PC and re-installed my copy of windows. I put all my stuff on my hard drive. Now it just doent work, i plug it in, it makes the satisfying beep. Then it said it is installed and ready to use! But, it doensnt appear in "My Computer" then i went to hard ware manager then to USB Mass storage device. It reads it, then i go into it, it reads it as a hard disk then when i click the 'Volumes' tab i populate the list and everything comes up, except for the volumes itself :(
