| Vista Ultimate 32bit | External Hard Drive Problems I have a 250 gb hard drive in a external case that connects to my computer via usb, I had the drive mapped as network drive on the other computer and I got home today and I couldn't access it. I went to the computer that is connected to and it shows up but vista tells me I need to format it before I can open it. I took and pulled it into my laptop that runs vista ultimate and I got the same thing. I plugged it into the girlfriends XP mechine and it works just fine, all my data is there and everything. I also ran into this problem when I got my vista computer. Is there anything I can do the make vista recongize it again without having to format my drive and lose everything on it? |
