If it does, check to see if the drive letter is being used by something else and change the drive letter for your HD. If not, I'd go to hardware manager and see if the correct drivers are installed. You should see something under USB pop up when you install the device and you should see the exact hard drive model appear under hard drives. The first time you install the device, you should install the drivers on the cd provided... even if it says plug and play.

It shows up under disk managment everyother time I plug it in. And when it does show up it sometimes shows up as a cd-rom drive, while other times it shows that its a hard drive that needs to be initialized. I have tryed running the drivers disk but nothing really installed. I then tryed to 'explore' the disk, just to find a bunch of files not really knowing which ones I need.
