I recently had some problems with my Computor (BSOD's) the error code often if not always had something to do with a USB driver, usbheci.sys etc.
Thats not the actual question but when I finally solved the BSOD's I am facing another problem.
My external HDD "WD6400E8035-01 640 GB" is not showing up in My Computor screen.
But when I run Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows, WD own diagnostic tool for WD HDD's it is being recognized.
Also, Windows safe removal tool informs me that it's ready to remove the HDD safe.
Regular USB 2GB sticks works in the same USB port though.
I have tried the HDD in another computor and it worked like a charm.

Can this be a power-supply failure? Or is it a driver issue, what do you think?
 
Go to computer management and then disk management. See if the drive shows up in there. If so, right click on the partition and assign a drive letter to it.
 
USB memories works just fine in the exact same port.
The disk wont show up in disk management, already looked.

I also go for this solution.

changing the drive letter of your HDD would help. reason behind is that there may be other driver using it. If everything is fine then its the only thing to check.
