Hi, Many thanks to Richie66 for his post. Western Digital drives can be a pain in the neck - my two externals just vanished and became 'Unknown Devices' to Vista. After searching here I put them on their sides, replugged them and hey presto - there they were! A bit of switch cleaner in the sockets and they now seem fine again. I had a My Book World which was such a pain I ended up taking the hard drive out and installing it internally. Time WD got their act together! Cheers, Barryt
