I have the above and It will not be recognised by my laptop.

I previously used it on my mac with no trouble (obviously:)), but for some reason it doesn't play ball with my windows machine. I run XP pro.

Any ideas?

Does your USB port recognise other USB devices such as a memory stick or printer?

Is your USB port USB1 when a USB2 is required by the drive?

Is it preped?

It does recognise USB drives yes. How do I access disk management?

It is a fully working and partitioned drive because I had it working fine for my mac.

Thanks for your help so far.

What filesystem is the drive formatted with? Disk Management: Start, Run..., diskmgmt.msc
