After plugging it in Vista installs the drivers but then starts looking for preconfigured driver folders and never shows up under my computer. I have a Buffalo 500GB external as my backup that works fine in the same port. I have never had a prob with the WD and have used it on multiple computers (XP Pro, XP MCE, and Vista Prem.). Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.
You could try letting Vista update the device's driver from device manager. And, you could try installing any missing Vista reliability updates. Those related to USB might solve your problem.
