I have been using an external hard drive for about a year now with no problems. Over the past couple of days however, I cannot get it to appear on my computer. In fact the drive won’t even spin up when connected to my PC.
I have tried the drive on another computer and it works fine, but when I plug it in to mine it does nothing.
I have tried other devices in to the same USB ports on my PC and they work fine.
I am running XP SP3, and the hard drive is connected via USB. I have checked USB controllers in device manager and there are no errors, but I have updated the drivers anyway, but no improvement. Please help. 🙂
