Seagate 5Gb portable USB drive ST650211USB

It's recognized in the device manager, OS says it's operating properly.
The drive's LED flashes when you first plug it in.

Windows Explorer doesn't "see" the drive.
It used to all work fine.

TIA,

Dave

I've had the same problem. USB works fine out of the box, then a few weeks later, it's not recognized. I uninstalled the drivers, plugged in USB, and allowed it to reinstall. Worked fine. Hope the same goes to you.
