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.
Why are you trying to install two different hard drives on the same USB port? That right there can cause issues, since Windows is expecting one drive and you're giving it another.
