    Honestly the night it stopped working i had removed it improperly and just disconnected it. Would that destroy the drive or just its connection with my computer, at this point i dont have another computer to try it with either tonight or tomoorow i will be trying it on another computer.

    USB Device Not Recognized (External Hard Drive)

    I JUST started having this problem with my SimpleTech 320GB external USB hard drive, yesterday. Ever since I bought it my computer recognized it immediately and im running XP. I have an alienware with plenty of power supply for the USB ports, and obviously since it has worked perfectly fine for the last 3 weeks that wouldn't be the problem. When I plug the drive into the AC Power Supply and turn the switch on in the back of the drive it powers on (ie.. Red light goes on) and you can hear the drive spinning, however, there are 4 blue lights on top of the drive that should be lighting up when plugged into the computer but are no longer doing so. The drive worked fine untill about 5 pm CST last night. I bought a sony DVD-RW drive external yesterday (since my internal NEC model that came with my computer i THINK burnt out on me, it still plays dvds but is incapable of reading a DVD-R)...I unplugged the Harddrive and plugged in the DVD-RW drive then unplugged the Dvd-RW drive and re plugged in the Hard Drive, immediatly following that, the Hard Drive stopped working. When I start up my computer, it states that it is reading the USB Mass Storage device. But no USB Connection tab comes up at the bottom and there is nothing in My Computer. Any thoughts???
