WD Western Digital External Hard Drive 320GB Passport Won't Work - WHY?

[StrangleHold]

Kenin got pretty upset with him posting bogas crap, but got really upset when he keeps on posting crap defending it. The dude will just not admit a mistake and will take it so far, it makes you think something is wrong with him. You will never learn or advance if you never admit mistakes. I finally got to the point I just look at him like a joke. You all heard the song by Seether- Fake It.

drivers on your passport?

and in the end it could easily have been fixed by using the second cable that comes with most removable hdds to give it power from a second USB port.

all this conflict...

I'm having the same problem

I have uninstalled/reinstalled everything under USB controllers and tried every available usb port with nothing else connected to any usb port. My 320 gig Passport only has 1 usb cable/port and it shows up in the DM as Unknown device. It works fine with every other computer it's been hooked up to. Everything else i hook up to the usb ports (USB to SATA adapter, 8 gig flash drive, printer, scanner, etc.) works fine.
