i have a Acomdata 320Gb external usb 2.0/firewire hard drive. it worked under vista before but after a complete recovery install, the drive no longer works. I've tried re installing it many times, replacing the drivers with the ones another external drive of mine uses but no such luck. Anyone have had this problem or might know how to resolve it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Go into:
Start > settings > control panel > system > device manager, then check to see if there are any yellow or red marks on the drive that you have installed, it should be under "disk drives", if your drive is there then delete it and reboot your computer this will then bring your drivers on line again. If not then do a fresh install on your computer by deleting the drivers from your computer first from "add and remove". Please post back anymore problems or questions.
