External drive not recogized But it Ok in another PC?

by jmw123 . Updated 13 years, 4 months ago

Hi,
I have a external HHD attached to my PC . Its a USB buffalo disk. Been working great and has my Itunes media on it for months. Recently I detached it and attached it to a XP PC and later to a Win7 Laptop (which had its own external HDD) . In both cases the drive was fine and I was able to access the data I needed.

That was until i attached back to its original Win 7 PC.
The drive is there correctly under device manager – and i have tried the disable/enable trick in device manager but to no avail.
When connecting it back to the other machines its there again..

What Can I do – cannot reformat it because of the data loss ..

Any ideas?
